Wow, I can’t believe I learned how to ski here. If you’re taking lessons, highly recommend it. The instructors are great. In terms of amenities, it’s got everything you need for a ski resort, including transportation to and from Vancouver. Best ski trip ever!! And the staff were super nice as well :)
Great spot for skiing near Vancouver!
This was pleasantly close to Central Vancouver - a great spot for me to try skiing for the first time! Workers were friendly and very accommodating. Considering the proximity to the city, Cypress is definitely a spot I’d recommend to local skiers or beginners like me looking for a great stop to try it out. Reasonable rental rates and lift tickets too, which can be hard to find!

This is my first season of skiing, and Cypress mountain is one of my options in lower mainland. Honestly, the snow condition was quite bad this year so it’s understandable that local mountains suffered a lot. Cypress mountain, so called the best snow resort in Vancouver, offers many different runs for multiple skill levels. It was always fun to ski on Cypress. Cannot complain about the snow condition as nobody has control over our Mother Nature, but there are few things I’m not satisfied by: first, their ticket system sometimes caused inconvenience, such as not being able to reload RFID cards, getting an empty ticket printed from the machine, and the prices being so unstable online, sometimes $39 sometimes $53. Parking is a problem as well. When it was crowded, some staff would always guide you to park nearby when there were still spots closer to the entrance. At few times, we had to walk with heavy gears for 20 minutes.
Cypress is one of the 3 local mountains for skiing / snowboarding in North / West Vancouver. It has 2 mountains with levels of runs for various people. The mountain does not have any "magic carpet" for beginners. The easiest run to start is the Runway, which requires taking a chair lift of Easy Rider. However, it has a stunning Vancouver view in the middle of the mountain. Skychair brings you to the top of the mountain. Hope you enjoy it.

Staff are trying very hard to keep the mountain open and running well and I respect that 💪
The few runs that are open are super fun! I love the smaller tree runs that go off the main trail. There's not many but there's enough :Do
Terrible conditions this year but overall this mountain is still very fun to ski on!!!

I'll give the resort 5 stars, while the snow conditions are worthy of 1 star due to the warmest winter in recent years. The resort is busy making snow, but most runs are bare. I'm sure it's a fantastic experience with normal conditions & I'm thinking of dropping my annual pass with Grouse Mountain & switching to Cypress for Winter sports. Cypress, IMHO, seems more authentic.
That’s the coolest mountain in the Lower Mainland! Season 23/24, as most of the mountains, was affected by the weather conditions, but still worths a visit while it is open. Great trails also, during the spring/ summer time. Watch out for the 🐻 in that case.
Coming from Toronto hills to Cypress Mountains was Amazing! Yes folks Mountains!
From my photos you cant see how great the runs were and how long in distance they were. These were a good 10-15mins each run, lift tickets are good for 4hrs only. The next day my neck, shoulders, abs and thighs were sore!!
If you ever have a chance to ski in BC, Highly recommended it!
Unfortunately with great runs also has its setbacks, 10-15min wait times for the lifts, but they moved swiftly and didn’t seem a long wait time.
Suggestion you buy everything online and in advance, lift ticket lines are long and rental lines even longer.
Cost for 1 adult, 2 teens and 1 child cost me $500-600 for lift tickets and rentals, and that was for 4hrs Amazing hours.

BOOK AHEAD. The eagle coaster gets booked very quickly and might need to be booked weeks if not months in advance. You can probably try and see if you can find an open slot but when we went it's fully booked.
Parking gets a little busy as well so go early when you can.
If you have an EV, there are EV charging stations in the area but unfortunately some non-ev cars lark there as the parking lot gets full quickly.
There are places to hike at and other activities to do.

Really worth a trip. The rides eagle coaster and scenic chairlift are very enjoyable. And there are many hiking trails nearby.
The Yew lake trail is so short and easy to discover. Loved it.

Experienced the most amazing views and scenery at Cypress! This was one of my favourite hikes for sure! It was straight up and challenging for a beginner, but the reward of jumping into the beautiful Cabin Lake made it definitely worth the effort. The water was beautiful!
Cypress Mountain is so beautiful.
But I made a mistake, I bought the ticket for the trail only, not for the rolling cart .even at the reception, they did not tell me. But we enjoyed this place. This place good for hiking.

Cypress Mountain is beautiful even in summer and a great place for family treks, or even a date. There are only a few reasons to visit: to ski in winter, or trail exploration in summer. There is also axe throwing. A recent re-addition is Eagle Coaster. That one is a treat for sure.
Parking is ample. Just note that there are about 3 different parking areas and the one closest also has a a electric charging station.
The gift shop is abysmal although it has a decent collection. It needs better efforts to drum up interest and play on the experience. The dining is unfortunately nothing great or even good, but I imagine you're here do the views rather than the food.

Unbelievable change of scenery from mild Spring to Winter weather by driving for less than 15 minute away from the city. Resort was closed when we visited but super scenic and definitely worth the drive. Roadside was covered in beautiful snow in early April.
I went skiing at Cypress Mountain and overall had a great experience. The slopes were well-groomed, and the scenery was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and helpful.
However, the only downside was the price of the food at the on-site restaurant. Although the quality of the food was decent, the prices were quite high. I understand that it is common for on-site restaurants at ski resorts to be expensive, but I still found it to be a bit steep.
That being said, if you're willing to pay a premium for convenience, the restaurant is a decent option for a quick bite or a warm drink. If you're looking to save some money, it might be worth bringing your own snacks or even a packed lunch.
Overall, I would still recommend Cypress Mountain as a great destination for skiing or snowboarding. Just be prepared to spend a bit more on food if you plan to eat at the on-site restaurant.
