Hometown Mountain Shoutout: Cypress Mountain, BC-a True Unicorn Resort - SnowBrains
"Where else can you ride a 12-hour day, get ocean and city views, all within a 30-minute drive from downtown Vancouver? Oh, and did I forget to mention that Cypress shares bragging rights with Whistler for being home to the 2010 Winter Olympics? Yeah, that's right! Not only can one downhill ski and snowboard here, but visitors can also enjoy Nordic skiing, snowshoe trails, tubing, & hiking. If you haven't picked up on it already, Cypress Mountain has something for everyone."
"Located a casual but scenic 30-minute ride from the city, Cypress Mountain is part of the Coast Mountains and tops out at 1,440 meters. Boasting 61 runs across two mountains, six chair lifts, 600 skiable acres, over 600 cm of annual snowfall, and 610 meters of vertical, Cypress Mountain is a decent-sized resort despite often being overshadowed by nearby world-renowned Whistler Mountain."
"Cypress Mountain is a playground that grows with you. People brand new to the sport of skiing or snowboarding have access to a Magic Carpet that is flat enough for little ones who have just taken their first steps, but there is also a bunny hill nearby for beginners with a bit more confidence. Once you've conquered those, well, there's tons of advanced terrain atop the resort's Sky Chair that was upgraded to a high-speed quad in recent years."
