Grouse Grind still closed, argh!

I've been checking the Grouse Mountain and Metro Vancouver website to see when the infamous Grouse Grind would open up again. Metro Vancouver crews have been busy reconstructing the pathway since the spring and Grind diehards have been ignoring the closed signs, of course.

I called Metro Vancouver and the woman who answered told me that it might reopen in late June. She also told me that their phones are constantly ringing, from when the open until they close, as people keep asking when it will reopen. It usually opens once all the snow disappears.

I hate doing the Grouse Grind, but it is a good workout and it feels great each time you complete it. Albeit, I'm always drenching in sweat, gasping for air, wanting to fall to the ground and into a quick and peaceful death.

I did a quick news search if any stories have been done about this and it seems The Province did a story about it in April. I think it's time for an update, so I emailed them.
