Vancouver's Local Mountain

Located on the outskirts of Vancouver, Cypress Mountain rises above the city skyline to reveal a true alpine paradise. With stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and snow-covered coastal peaks, this is where urban energy meets untamed winter beauty.

The Terrain

With over 600 acres of diverse terrain and almost 60 runs, from gentle beginner slopes to exhilarating black diamond trails, Cypress has varied terrain. Whether you’re gliding beneath the stars with night skiing or cruising through powdery glades, Cypress delivers a unique skiing experience.

As the proud host of freestyle skiing and snowboarding events during the 2010 Winter Olympics, Cypress continues to shine as one of Canada’s most iconic and accessible ski destinations.

It is a great place to live, work and develop your skills. Cypress offers good rates of pay and plenty of working hours.
