Provid- ing visitors 360-degree views, the glass-walled pod sits just three meters in from the rotating blades. In March, it’s tricky to predict when the Eye of the Wind will be open. Snow and ice build-up make it unsafe to be too close to the structure, so when skiing is good, The Eye of the Wind is often closed. Summer is a more reliabletimetovisit.Still,evenin March,theuniquenessofthetur- bine makes visiting worth a try. The Grouse Mountain resort area conducts its daily safety assessmentearlyeverymorning. So be sure to check in advance to gauge the chances that it will be open when you arrive. You can get the latest status report at www.grousemountain. com/current_conditions or by calling (604) 980-9311. You also can find out what other winter attractions are open, including skiing and riding, ice-skating and snowshoeing. If you don’t want to drive or take a cab, you can take the Sea- bus and a BC Transit bus — routes 232 and 236 from Lonsdale Quay (Seabus) and Pibb’s Exchange — all the way to the mountain. You’llalsoneedtopayfortheSky- Ride (gondola) and an admission or tour fee for the turbine. Some more details: The Leit- wind LTW77 1.5 megawatt tur- bine was erected in 2009. The viewing platform (viewPODTM ) can accommodate 36 visitors, and the elevator can carry seven people at a time. The site is 1,231 meters above sea level, and during construction, some parts of the turbine had to be brought in by helicopter. The tur- bine was inaugurated during the ToweringVancouver sight is a Seabus ride away By Robert Selleck, Managing Editor 2010 Olympic winter games. The viewing platform is fixed to the turbine carrier, which means it is not fixed to the actual tower. So the view- ingpodturnsaroundthetower as the nacelle (the capsule- type cover surrounding the turbine mechanical compon- ents) moves with the wind. There are displays that show wind speed, perform- ance and rotational speed. Completed in 2009, the 1.5-megawatt Leitwind LTW77 wind turbine on Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver can supply the ski resort at its base with enough power to offset 25 percent of the resort’s annual energy needs — enough electricity to power 400 homes. ‘The Eye of the Wind’ is the world’s only wind turbine with a public observation deck, accessible by elevator and open year-round, depending on the weather.
