Note: If you take the tram down for a Grouse Group VK (or are shuttled down by any other means car etc..) you will be deducted 50% of the weighted bonus points allocated for each climb. If you run down, you will receive the full points allocation. (E.g. 2 VK in a day on Grouse courses: 1 tram down, 1 run down = 200pts / 2 = 100pts weighted per climb. 100pts * 50% for one climb = 50. +100 for other climb = 150pts awarded )
