View of a freshly but light snow covered mountain range with a ski run that runs the length of the photo. Grey cloud cover the sky. There is a slanted utility pole to the right in the near foreground and the tops of buildings that span over towards the hint of a city below the mountains together with trees scattered here and there. Extra info: While Grouse Mountain is a popular ski area in North Vancouver, the official 2010 Olympic freestyle skiing and snowboarding events were held at nearby Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver. However, Grouse Mountain was heavily involved in the 2010 Games in other ways: Broadcasting Hub: NBC's Today show used the resort as its home base, broadcasting live for 12 days. Training & Legacy: The mountain has a long history of training Olympic-level athletes and installed a high-speed chairlift named the "Olympic Express" following Vancouver's successful 2003 bid. Torch Relay: Grouse hosted a stop on the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay.
