Cypress Mountain Review

As a visitor from Toronto, really enjoyed the experience! Came on January 2nd, and it was packed, took about 2 hours to get rentals alone, but overall, lines were under ten minutes at the lifts. Heard from friends that it's not usually that busy.

Went snowshoeing yesterday and it was great! Not too many people out, good trails of varying difficulty, and friendly staff!

Good lift thicket price for the best ski resort in Vancouver

Beautiful mountain. Also great for summer visit. We started the hike to Eagle Bluffs at the Cypress Mountain parking lot, this hike offered jaw-dropping views.

tip: buy cypress giftcards online at costco to get 20% off purchases, or buy early online for more discounts. giftcards cannot be used online. You hae to line up regardless if you buy lift tickets online.

One of the best local mountain in Vancouver. Snow pack is usually pretty good threwout early winter season.

Beautiful drive up the mountain leads to the ski resort and clearly mapped and marked hiking trails. Took the trail past Yew Lake, Cabin Lake, and Black Mountain. All beautiful stops. The trail is obvious and there are clear markers at intersections. It is very steep loose rock for the first 20 to 30 minutes of hiking. Then the trails become dirt, tree roots and planks. Can be very muddy. Views are beautiful. Lakes on the mountain are peaceful to see.

Very convenient location. Pricing is a touch steep. Wish they hadn't closed a run at 3 pm. Friendly staff and well tended runs. A very nice way to spend a day.

I was told the $23 bus ticket was a round trip but then bus stranded us in north Vancouver.

Awesome place ,cozy restaurant . Food little bit expensive but it s worth it !

Best local mountain in Vancouver, hands down. Good prices for Silver passes and fantastic night skiing with lots of runs open.

Took my daughter skiing here. It was her first experience being on a ski-hill and this place is incredible. She's been asking to go back ever since we left. Nice drive up the mountain, as well!

I love it up here. No complaints except it's super busy on the weekends.

My favourite mountain to ski in Vancouver. Excellent early bird deal on season passes and ski rentals. This place is a gem if you like to ski and aren't a fan of being ripped off by Americans in Whistler which has become Disneyland for the obscenely rich.

Great local mountain with lots of snow (26 snow guns). Short lift lines if you go early. Mediocre grooming compared to other ski hills.
New rentals setup is much faster. Lots of seating in overpriced cafeteria. Raven Bar and Grill has excellent food, drinks, and service!

Great local ski resort with great views on the city and the Howe sound

Amazing Views, 5 hours hiking totally recomended. It's Considered as an intermediate hike so be prepared with enough water and snacks

Broke my wrist and had lots of fun, will come back when I'm recovered, the prices are good and the tracks are beautiful

Im only rating it 4 stars because the ski patrol could be better. I've crashed several times and they were no where to be found. I had to ski back while I'm pain because of the ski patrol.

Another sunny day with great snow...more on the way?

One of the better local ski hills, but unfortunately they are raising their prices.

Still the best place for one day skiing/snowboarding. The rental place is clean and convenient with great staff helping out. Has awesome view at the top, with really nice slopes and turns.

Will definitely visit again the next time I went to Canada

Unfortunately I could only check the place without the snow, but like other numerous ski resorts in the area, it must be fantastic to be able to enjoy the whole structure of the place, anyway, prepare your pocket because skiing is not for everyone!

I'm extremely disappointed with the service I received from cypress. After sitting in heavy traffic for 2 hours (before even reaching the second Narrows bridge, Lions Gate Bridge was closed) due to car accidents across both the bridges, I called to try and change the tickets to another day as we could not make it up. The manager refused to refund or change and I understand that its not within the policy but this is not acceptable at all.

I considered buying the silver pass next year but with such service, I'll never buy a Cypress pass again and that decision is unanimous in amongst my friends as well.

Very beautiful and challenging hike. Make sure bring extra water. View it priceless.

A very accessible resort
Well managed and good restaurant

Cypress is the biggest and my personal favourite of the local Vancouver mountains. Plenty of night skiing runs which makes it fantastic for after work.

It does get quite busy on weekends and holidays, so get there extra early and buy your tickets online ahead of time.

Very short drive from Vancouver and a great place to ski. Food could be improved though.

Decent mountain and good price for a lift pass. Consider renting gear off the mountain - Only all-mountain Head brand gear for hire

Love the mountain itself, but their website is terrible. Very hard to navigate and worse on a phone. Condition page defaults fahrenheit .. we are in Canada, USE CELCIUS!!

Great ski resort, close to Vancouver. Really expansive for a day. It's better to take the season pass if you live in Vancouver.

Also, you can come by bus or car. If you come by car, come early, because after 9am it's difficult (impossible?) to find a parking spot close to the resort.

1st day of the season, cars got stuck in snow, no help from the resort;
2 times we arrived early to enjoy the new snow and twice the lift did not start loading till at least 15 minutes after 9:00am and all early birds are stuck there waiting them to finish whatever they should finish before claimed opening time;
charge each car $10 on supposed to be free parking area , and the area is getting bigger;
no matter how busy the lifts are and how much they are delayed to open, they close a couple of lifts at 3 or 4 pm without considering the sunset time at Vancouver is almost 6pm;
we were removed from the eating area because of some activities and when we came out of the dinning area, my daughter told me the reserved sign was not there when she took the spot.

This definitely the worst service we received as season card holders and we are moving to other mountain for the next season.

Awesome. Did the St. Mark Summit. Went for the Bowen lookouts and the Howe trail.

Good variety of sky trails for all skill levels. I consider this to be the most cost-effective ski area in Metro Vancouver, and that's the reason why I've been a season pass holder for years now. The only inconvenience is parking during peak hours.

Love this local mountain. But please make it so the terrain parks are there more often please.

rude parking coordinators wouldn't let people stop. just blankly told everyone that wasn't skiing to turn around, not explaining themselves, and in a condescending tone.

just justifying yourself would go a long way.

I live snowboarding here. It's great value for your money. You have to time it right to avoid the crowds though.

Definitely the best local mountain. Not as busy or as touristy as Grouse, and bigger than Seymour. Only potential downside is if the road to the top is snowy.

Went tubing with the family for the first time. Almost $100.00 for exactly two hours of tubing (kick you off after time done). Long lines with only two people working on two lanes although 5 lanes available. Discussed with management and response was "too bad for you". Not worth the money for a family.

My daughter and her friend who had never ski before went to Cypress Mountain's Raven Riders Spring Camp. Their coach Tomas Z. had done such an excellent job to help them learn and improve, they are able to go on ski with so much confidence. They had so much fun and think this is the best camp they have every been to. Thank you, Tom!

This is an ok local mountain. It's nice to have the upgrade of electronic passes, however if you're a Silver pass holder, you can't get an upgrade pass on-line. You have to stand in line.

It was a good day and there was lots of snow, but I went down a run and there was an unmarked hazard on the run (a bump right after a larger downgrade) when I went between this my ski snapped in half right at the front toe. Can t believe there would be something like this on a run.

Nice location, nice facilities.. Staff to guide parking...

Such a nice spot, being many times and still my fave mountain around the city

Best local ski hill in Vancouver for a quick snowboard after a long day of work.

Biggest ski resort in north vancouver. Moderately priced. Big parking lot and busy. 2 big lifts and several other smaller lifts. Highly recommended

This is my main mountain that i snowboard at,

i buy season passes to this place all the time!

Awesome day on the mountain - great conditions, staff and food. A special thanks to the two Cypress staff who came by with a battery booster when our car battery died and we could not get it going by jump starting with another vehicle.

Yesterday was probably the worst day to go up the mountain. There were so many people, and so many issues - but the staff was doing the best they could. Kudos to the staff. I'll definitely go back again when it's not such a busy day.

Please don't come up we want it all to our selves thank you. If you ski it when it isn't busy you will know why I said that!

Hiking in the summer, snowboarding in the winter! If you like either of those two things, you will like this place. ... There's other stuff to do there too.

AWESOME local mountain for all outdoorsy activities- hiking, boarding and skiing, sightseeing.

Great place for ski, snowboarding and tubing. 40 mins away from downtown Van

Skiing is convenient, much more convenient than grouse

Amazing views with beautiful trails. What a great experience.

Great local mountain. They have stream lined rentals which is a major improvement. No longer have to pickup a credit card image at the end either. Greens are busy as to be expected. Normally we take lessons at Cypress as best bang for your buck

Wonderful place, with all ski services, rent service and kids area.

Shout out to Crusty for plowing the snow on the roads in order for all of us to get onto the slopes safely!

Also, thank you so much Crusty for giving both a complimentary Cypress toque and a Cypress hat we really appreciated it!

As a Silver Pass holder at Cypress, I am pleased to say that the customer service is just wonderful and I always feel welcome and taken care of when snowboarding!

Beautiful mountain for ski, snowboard, and snowshoe.

Best resort near Vancouver. Great tubing area for kids, plenty of lessons to learn skiing/snowboarding, and the largest skiing area.

Whistler has priced out the locals. Cypress is a great local mountain.

Beatiful view and decent runs. But smaller than I was expecting for the price.

Great mountain for skiing but ownership could do a much better job.
