Cypress is the biggest local mountain for vancouverites. Its great value for money for those who want to go skiing after work as night riding is open until 10pm. It can get very busy here on the weekends but the weeknights seem to have short lines. Decent runs for a small mountain. For more advanced skiers/riders you probably only need a couple hours up here, whereas beginners could probably spend the day.There are lots of beginners scattered on the mountain who dont know proper mountain etiquette, so you have to be extra alert when coming down busier runs.
