Yep....just got mine yesterday. Thinking of doing the time card too.

yup $10 to go down this year. use to be $5 year before, but its changed.

i did the season pass as well. just have to go 11 times to make it worth it.

$8 for tix+waterbottle for last year.

Hmmm, the fries up there taste so good. Maybe im just hungry and tired x) I don't know if anyone else feels that way.

Just went up this morning,

Current best: 39:50 end of last year
Today (First run of 2011): 46:30 after a full 8 months of doing jack over winter (minus snowboarding)
This years goal: 35!

Time to get my fitness up, last year i was going 3-5x a week. This year i know 35 is a lofty goal (maybe not since the course has changed) but I'm working full time in LANGLEY of all places and plan to try to go up at least 3x a week.

Round 2 done today.....shaved down to 51....getting closer.

Will be going for sure next week.

Goal time: 45mins.

went a few times this year already. 49min is my best so far this year. Aiming for 45 mins.

Tested out my Go pro camera last week

went sunday morning....845am and the site was packed as shit....i ended up parking in the back gravel pit....56mins with 4 30sec stops for water and loads of tourists....

Best ever was 42 mins two years ago. I'm heading up next week and I hope to finish under 45 mins. Goal is 40 mins

Current Best Times?
59:04 :( It was my first time last year lol.

New Goal Time?
I'm hoping I can reach 55:00 or faster

Frequency?
I've only went 4 times last summer, So i think i'll double it to 8. Every 2 weeks I guess.

Tips for the newbs?
Do not take any breaks at all, just continue going up. Those breaks just make you so much more lazy afterwards.

I got my season pass last week.

Can't wait to go again.

Looking to go every 2 weeks.

Went up today, but major fail :D accidentally resetting my watch somewhere in the first quarter. I was up there yesterday, hit a 42:30 so the times coming down, although today I was feeling even better and would guess somewhere in the high to 41s.

My tips for people really serious about dropping their time.

Biking. When I started consistently biking last year (22km to work every other day) my times just dropped. That and learning how to use my diaphragm to help me breath helped as well.

went once in 2009, and took 62 mins


first time since then and did it in 58

trying to go more consistently this year and hopefully hit 50's

For those with a Grind Timer, is it a one time purchase or do u have to re-up annually?

56 mins on wed

53 mins today

Heading up later this morning. Going to try and do this at least once a week

64 minutes from the time dial at the bottom to the time dial at the top

Best time? 35 minutes. 10 years ago.

Current time? 60 minutes.

Goal to go up? None at all. I'd rather do real hikes with actual views instead of a glorified stairclimb populated by tourists.

Did the grind for the second time with sore legs. Took an hour and 3 minutes :\

The Canucks prospects are doing the grouse grind now I wonder what time it takes them

Rypien apparently holds the best time at 36 minutes....but i am not surprised that a heft majority of them will be done in less than 40 minutes.

Did 1:37 with Gf yesterday
Did 1:02 today by myself

Trying to get to 50 min.
