Notes:
This is my first flight at Grouse. Cloudbase was at 1400-1500-ish metres, virtually no wind on the take off. Nice strong thermals farther out (my max was 4.5 m/s), had to big-ear twice to escape the clouds. The view is breath-taking. Since it was my first flight there, I didn't go exploring the place too much, but that is definitely in the cards!
