In addition to earlier closing times, there are a few recent closures that
are of interest to hikers.

The Grouse trams will be out of service November 1-12 so there'll be no
rides back down during that time (use the BCMC instead):

The Sea to Sky Gondola is closed for the whole month of November for annual
maintenance, which means no rides up or down, and no facilities if you hike
up. They're scheduled to re-open on December 1st:
