Mount Fromme
Encyclopedia
Mount Fromme is a mountain
on the North Shore of Vancouver
, British Columbia
, and a key North American mountain biking
destination. Looking towards the North of the Burrard Inlet
three mountains are clearly visible (Grouse Mountain
, Mount Seymour
, and Mt. Fromme). Mt. Fromme (commonly referred to as Grouse Mountain
because of its proximity to the ski resort of that name) has downhill trails that have made a name for the North Shore riding style. The mountain is populated with mountain bike trails that are known for their difficult and dangerous and treacherously slippery mountain terrain. These trails have natural challenges like fallen logs, giant boulders to drop off and gap jumps. Most of the trails have man-made obstacles like skinny bridges, large boulders, winding ladder bridges, road gaps, and other large gaps and jump features. Mt. Fromme has been featured in many mountain bike films such as seasons, follow me, and many NWD and Kranked series.
