I had a great time flying at this years Fly In. Although Saturday was shut down I am so glad I stuck around to fly some big air on Sunday.

I was able to log my longest and highest flight there at Grouse at a little over 5000'(1524 meters)

Thanks to all of the Grouse Mountain Flying Team for their hospitality and coordination. It was a trip to remember.

I am stoked to fly if you are heading please give me a call.

Hi ALL,
I am recently on the Guest list and would love to fly off Grouse.
I don't work 9-5 so flying can work during the week as well.
Cheers

Yesterday was one of these special days on Grouse that come about only rarely. The wind was perfect at take off, there was lift everywhere, and the ceiling was well above our permitted ceiling. I took off at about 3 pm, quickly climbed out to 1800 m, and was off on my first outing to Goat Mtn, Crown Mtn, the Camel and beyond. I spent the next 2 plus hours doing lapses between the Camel and the bottom of the Cut, rarely below about 1500 m, and then settled for a peaceful flight over North Van and landing at 5:30 pm. An spectacular and unforgettable flight. Peter

Hi,
I am a pilot from South Africa Cape Town and would like to fly, is there anybody flying at Grouse Mt tomorrow, if so please can you contact me on cell 604 2902523, thanks inadvance, Barry

Today was exceptional on Grouse. An at times fairly strong north/easterly wind made it difficult to launch, but once in the air, there were solid big fat thermals (up to 3 m/s) everywhere. I launched shortly after 4 pm, immediately turned right off launch and found the first leeside thermal that carried me to 1600 m asl. From there, I followed the ridge back to Goat Mtn, Crown Mtn, the Camel, etc., always trying to stay well below 2000 m asl. Amazing!

One more thing: Grouse has removed pretty much all of the snow on the road to the peak, making the hike up much easier and quicker.
