I'm sure Lot D fills up fast then. There have been a few times where looking at the mountain vs being up there is very different. You would see a giant bunch of clouds but when you get there the visibility is good at least 30+ feet. The chick at grouse told me that the conditions can change between the parkinglot and the gondola and you wont be able to tell until you got up past the parkinglot, which means you'd have to already buy your pass.

You will have a pretty good idea on the visibility by just the drive there, since you can see the mountain from Vancouver. My rule of thumb is that if I can see "The cut" from my house, it's all good. Or you can just check their website for updates. Also, the gondola ride is free when you pay for your lift ticket or season pass. Just thought I'd clear a few things up, since I'm a Y2play pass holder and a Grouse whore!!!
