It is just 2.9 kilometer trail but it is 853 meter elevation with 30 degree slope for more than half of the mileage. We did for challenging ourselves, ages and testing our physical performance not because of avoiding to pay for an expensive Skyride ropeway (43.95 CAD), never. By the way, the laps beside me is not ours for someone else. We took 15 more minutes. https://www.grousemountain.com/
A.K.A. Kendo Osaka. Half man half machine since a serious injury in his right ankle in 2010 winter time. Thanks to brilliant Swedish doctors and nurses, he is now able to create more horse power than used to before the injury. He can run fast, he can raise heavy weight at gym and he can ski excellently.
