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) boasts many world class 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 extremely difficult and dangerous and often treacherously slippery mountain terrain. These trails contain numerous natural challenges like fallen logs, giant boulders to drop off and gap jumps. Most of the trails also contain man-made obstacles like skinny bridges, twisting "ladders" raised above the ground, and teeter-totters to ride on.
