Other ski hills with New Year’s Eve events include Cypress in West Vancouver and Sasquatch Resort in the Fraser Valley (not far from Harrison Hot Springs).

New Year’s Eve Fireworks at Grouse Mountain
On December 31st Grouse Mountain celebrates New Year’s Eve with fireworks. They blast off at 7:00 pm for the family-friendly show. It’s one of the biggest and best New Year’s Eve fireworks displays in Metro Vancouver. Five hours later, there’s the Pyro Musical at Midnight too.
There’s also a fancy dinner party for adults on Grouse Mountain. It takes place at The Observatory restaurant which is a popular place to be on New Year’s Eve. The event features a multi-course menu with seatings at 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm (the latter has sold out in 2025).
The dinner at the Observatory includes wine pairings and costs $195 per person (plus taxes and tip). It also comes with complimentary champagne for a midnight toast and admission to Grouse Mountain.
For those with families, there’s the New Year’s Eve buffet at the Timber Room. In 2025 it costs $59 for those ages 13 and up. Children under the age of 13 are $24.
For New Year’s Eve this year, the resort is offering special evening tickets at $39 that give you access to the mountain as well as skiing and riding after 8:00 pm. There’s also the Light Walk which starts at 9:00 pm and runs until midnight. The main New Year’s Eve attraction, however, is the fireworks which blast off at 7:00 pm and then again at midnight. Admission to the show is free for people with general mountain admission tickets, ski lift tickets and annual passes.
