Discussion: Grouse Grind

I also thought the markers seemed off, but was less scientific than you! And there is still some snow at the top of BCMC, but I was fine with just regular trail runners. You could see some people had sunk through snow though.

I've always wondered about those markers!

I am pretty sure they are placebo markers. They are decided to convince people to keep going up because you reach them at psychologically useful points.
