Cypress Mountain Review

Had a free birthday snowboard day, and it was awesome! Many different slopes to choose from and the views are spectacular! Can't wait to be back!

Perfect starting place for a hike towards The Lion or halfway to Bowen Lookout, where one can enjoy great views over the inlet from Horseshoe Bay to far up north.

Great trails for snowshoeing however we went all the way up to the lookout point but the trail was closed. Wish they would have told us at the ticket booth. Parking is also limited on busy days/weekends.

Best ski hills amount the three mountains up North shore

Great slopes and friendly staff. It was incredibly busy, but that s to be expected on a weekend with good weather. Only gave 4 stars because they misplaced my ID (you give it to them when you get rentals) , and it took them a long time to find it.

My daughter had her first ever skiing lesson as part of the the Pro D day program and she LOVED it! Her instructor Owen was amazing made the whole day super fun. She can't wait for her next lesson

Decent powder day. Great slopes. Staff always perfect too.

Chose a perfect day to go. Bright blue skies, beautiful trails and amazing views.

Definitely a place to go for skiing and moutain climbing. This has been my favourite hobby in winter for about a half a decade now

Good snow. Try night skI for the weekend.. Lots of people for day ski on weekend.

I have only been here in summers. Best part is that one can drive up to the base which is again at an elevation and it offers some great view points along the drive. I still have to try hiking up the mountain.

Customer Service is unbelievably bad. I call the number on the ticket to make a change to my reservation and I'm told they can't do this, that I should google search to find the correct phone number.

Great food, great people, hope you brought your swimsuit! Jump on in.

Really great hike in the summer. Beautiful reward at the top (maybe not quite as beautiful as the winter but pretty darn close)!

The trail has a lot of unique features as you go along... Roots, trees, waterfalls, steep parts, lakes, views. Definitely worth it!

The staff were friendly & helpful. Decent facilities. Food decent. Only considerstion: trimming back the trees so more sun can shine on slide area. Otherwise; can you say FUN times! Ty

Nice place for hiking. The eagle bluff trail I took was strenuous but worth it.

Great location with ample parking, well groomed slopes perfect for beginners. Weekends can be very busy but buying a silver pass is worth $$$
Views are unbelievable on a clear day

Great runs, great food, great views and all just 30 minutes from the city!

Snowshoed here. It was so nice. Gorgeous trails well away from the skiiers. The view at the end of the steep hike was well worth the sweating and panting. The slopes here look awesome too but the snowshoeing trail is free so if you are just looking for views. Go do that!

Love the mountain but it is way too busy these day and the road up is alway a traffic jam either because of the micro managed parking attendants and the fact that way too many people try and drive up their without snow tires. They used to check tires at the bottom of the hill and turn people away and I think it s about time they start to do it again. I m sick of getting stuck on that road because people have spun out. Those people should go to grouse

This is a great local mountain! Lots of terrain and friendly staff!

Great weather. The snow is a bit thick, but fun all round!

Quite a small resort with a limited number of runs. But nice and clean resort.

Pretty good snow even later in the season. Great Lodge to relax on as well. Parking is $10 if you want to park close!

It a good local ski place but the food is really expensive and one of the chair left is really uncomfortable.

Fun mountain close to Vancouver, so easy to make an afternoon or evening ski run. The lifts seemed reasonably fast, and the runs were fun. Don't expect Whistler, this is lower elevation and much smaller. The one gripe I have is the mess the parking lot can be. Was there with 5-10cm of fresh snow (lots of wind, so depth varied) and the was a layer of ice under that. So many stuck cars! Before you comment, yes, cars with good snow tires were stuck. It wasn't a high centering problem, it was an ice problem. The mountain needs to do something to either keep ice from forming, quickly remove it once it is formed, or help people out in the lot. In the end, people helped people, but lots of time was wasted both by people needing to get pushing help to get moving and by people waiting for cars stuck in the way to get moved. Just be careful in the lot.

Lots of fun things to see at the top and the grouse grind in summer time is a great way to workout and experience nature. =)

This is the best ski resort within the 100 mile radius of where I live which is Victoria. It is affordable yet fun filled with 2 mountains to ski. The only downside is that It is always overcrowded with wait times for lifts up to 30 mins.

Location: 4/5 convenient location at 40 mins from downtown
Fun: 3/5 decent amount of runs and variety
Facilities: 3/5
Value: 3/5 fair price for the area standards

Awesome trails, go early, stay late and watch out for the wildlife.

Challenging snowshoeing trails, and awesome for snowboarding. We enjoy coming here for outdoor therapy

Probably one of the better local mountains in Vancouver. It is also a reasonable price for their Seasons Pass.

great trails to do in the summer. The climb is well worth the view.

It's a good place for kids to practice the skiing and snowboarding.

Great place to ski but some of staff are not very nice

Awfully long queues for renting skis, but the black slopes are very nice.

Wonderful ski area. Lifts are well run, lots of lighting for after work skiing. It is expensive, but they have good discounts for evening skiing. Definitely the best ski mountain in the area. Lots of parking available. Just wish the ticket sales were a bit faster - as it is you wait in line for a good 15 minutes to buy tickets.

Popular hiking destination with nice views. Trail heads are a bit tricky to find in the beginning but otherwise the trail is easy to follow.

Been a skier myself for over 10 years. This is by far the best mountain for skiing in the greater Vancouver area. Food is good, prices are fair, interior is cozy for a cold winters day. Top notch mechanical team helping you service your skis at anytime quick and at a fair price so you can enjoy another run on the mountains yet again!

Easy access, close to the city, great skiing with amazing views

Summer or winter, I love cypress mountain. Always beautiful.

Perfect weather for snowshoeing. Challenging "hike" as a good portion of he trails can be done in boots which is typical for most trails. The outback trails were beside one of he ski runs which allowed some interesting light so getting back late was not a problem.

I lost half of my day to get in this mountain (traffic), to rent my equipment (1 hour line) and had just a half day of ski... the thing is, they don t seam to care about you having a good experience. I ask a staff guy about the line to rent a helmet and he told me that some days people wait 2,5 hours.... for sure this place allows 10x the amount of people that should get... but the mountains were nice and the ski were good! BUT 15 min lines to get the lift...

Amazing resort. Great snowboarding trials, decent park

Absolutely love this place. I think it's priced fairly with regards to variety and so on.

As an intermediate snowboarder I feel there's plenty of runs here to challenge me and help me improve.

In terms of amneties the food is pretty good and not too expensive, and the store has good variety but is very overpriced.

Best variety of Terrain and difficulty in Vancouver. There are a few gems tucked away in the trees if you can find them.

This is my first hike of 2020 and I simply love it very refreshing I recommend it to everyone who love hiking, cabin lake is 2 miles from cypress parking and eagle bluff is 2 miles more from cabin lake. Hopefully will go again to explore more

Very busy on weekends (to be expected) runs are OK but it sucks when it rains

Great location for little baby playing at the sliding area.

For those who like to ski and feel the mountain air.

Great hikes in the summer around here, make sure to have hiking apps/gps the trails are not very well marked and a bit confusing.

Went for a hike to eagles bluff. Not a terribly hard hike but not easy either. Seen lots of wildlife around including chipmunks, ravens and a full grown black bear right in the middle of the trail so be careful out there.

Best mountain in the Vancouver area!

There are two mountains to choose from, with many different runs and terrain parks. Open from 9am to 10pm (night skiing) offering afternoon tickets price after 2pm!

There is a fast food and a restaurant with bar for those willing to spend more on food.

When the snow is good Cypress is the best. Love the massive night ski operation!

Nice place, nice staff, except the rental department.

We have season pass for Cypress, it doesn't have the size or snow quality as Whistler or the interior mountains but it is so close and convenient and has the most stunning views be far. A great place to polish your skills :)

Been there on Jan 2016 did snowboarding and falling in love with this place, it wasn't beautiful as whistler but I love the snow here and the way they organize trail, beginner, intermediate and expert. And all staffs are super friendly! !!!
Go back this winter for sure!!

First day of spring garbage bag tobogganing as all the local mountains are closed.
