| takeoff | Grouse Mtn. ski area. From Highway #1, travel north along Capilano Road/Nancy Greene Way to the end and then take the Gondola to the top. 4000' (1200 m) ASL SSW facing launch with excellent groomed slope on ski hill. Moderately sized set-up area on rocky and bushy ski slope. Get a good clean run as sink could be present just in front of launch. Grouse is a very restricted site. Grouse Mtn. is privately owned, next to one of the main water reservoirs for the city, and the landing field is a sports-field in an upscale area of greater Vancouver. Because of these circumstances, in order to fly Grouse, you first have to get onto the guest pilot list. To be accepted as a guest, you have to have an intermediate or advanced rating, liability insurance, a reserve, and you have to be a responsible pilot (You will be asked for a contact person who can vouch for you). Once approved as a guest, you can fly Grouse, but you must always be accompanied by one of the members of the Grouse Mountain Flying Team. The team member will brief you on the site, sign you in, and see you off at launch, etc. |
