Located in the heart of Cypress Provincial Park and only 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Vancouver the mountain is right at the city's door step. With unparalleled terrain and the largest vertical rise on the North Shore , Cypress Mountain is Vancouver's premier winter playground.

Cypress Mountain now boasts three quad chairs and two double chairs, including the Eagle Express high speed detachable quad, and Easy Rider quad designed specifically for beginners and a magic carpet for our Kids camp. Spectacular views of downtown Vancouver , English Bay , Georgia Strait and Howe Sound are yours to enjoy from 38 downhill runs, both day and night.

A brand new rental fleet for the 2005/2006 season will allow you to enjoy the latest equipment available for rent and professional instruction from one of Western Canada 's most respected Ski and Snowboard Schools . For Après Ski relax in Growlies Bar & Grill or enjoy our sun deck and full service cafeteria.

Meanwhile, the Snowboarding venues on the Eagle Express terrain will provide improved grading of runs and create an Olympic-rated Super Pipe within sight of the Base Area. A new daylodge, a snowmaking system, upgraded parking areas and an athletes centre in the Cross Country area are all also part of the drive to prepare for 2010.
