About Cypress Mountain

Cypress Mountain is Vancouver's premier ski area — the closest major resort to Canada's third-largest city, just 30 minutes from downtown and the international airport, perched on the North Shore mountains with stunning views over the city, the Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf Islands. The resort hosted the freestyle skiing and snowboard events at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and that Olympic legacy is visible in its excellent terrain parks and halfpipe facilities. Cypress's 53km of terrain across 6 lifts spans a modest 540m of vertical, but the skiing is varied enough to engage intermediates and families for a full day: well-groomed cruisers on the front side, gladed tree runs on the back, and a dedicated learning zone for beginners. The resort's real strengths are its accessibility and its value as a day-trip option — it's the obvious choice for travellers visiting Vancouver who want to add a day of skiing without the commitment of a multi-day resort trip. Snow quality is coastal Pacific (wet and heavy), but the resort's snowmaking and grooming keep conditions consistent. For US visitors flying into Vancouver for business or sightseeing, Cypress Mountain offers the rare opportunity to ski in the morning and dine in a world-class city by evening.
