問題詳情

四、 篇章結構: 20%，每題 2 分。Grouse Mountain was named by the first recorded hikers to reach the summit in October1894. In those days, climbing Grouse Mountain was a three or four day epic journey as therewas no bridge across Burrard Inlet and no road to the base. 24 Along the way, theyhunted a Blue Grouse and honored the plentiful game bird by calling the Peak “GrouseMountain.” 25 Among these were Don and Phyllis Munday who built the first log cabinon the mountain. Today, the Munday Alpine Snowshoe Park bears their name in honor of theircontributions to mountaineering. In 1910, a group of entrepreneurs decided to build a railroadto the summit to make the mountain more accessible. 26The cabin area at the base of The Cut has a long history. It began with Vancouveriteswho found it an easier place to live than the city during the Great Depression, and it was theproposed terminus of yet another inclined railway in 1939. World War II and another steelshortage ended this attempt, which had actually progressed to the construction stage, eventhough the tracks were half steel and half wood.27 This confirmed Grouse Mountain’s reputation as a leader. The first chairlift forThe Cut was built in 1951 and, for the first time, skiers and visitors could reach the mountainin a two-stage trip. 28 In 1965, the Grouse Mountain Snow School opened, drawingupon an already well-established history of skiing, ski clubs, and world champion skiers.
