The ski resort is a 30-minute drive north of downtown Vancouver,[1] and has 53 named alpine ski runs (many accessible for night skiing) and 19 km of cross country trails. Snowshoeing tours are also popular. Snow schools and rentals, Cypress Creek Grill, Gold Medal Cafe and Crazy Raven Bar and Grill and a Big Bear Sports retail shop are also located on the premises in the Cypress Creek Lodge. Cypress Mountain hosted the Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding events of the 2010 Winter Olympics, including SkiCross as a demonstration sport, and the first running of Snowboardcross as a Medal sport. The ski area's downhill runs are built on two mountains (Mount Strachan {{IPAc-en|s|t|r|ɔː|n}} {{respell|strawn}}[2][3] – {{convert|1440|m}} and Black Mountain – {{convert|1200|m}}, on a vertical rise of {{convert|610|m}}. The resort is legally known as Cypress Bowl Recreational Limited Partnership, previously owned by Boyne Resorts, then sold to CNL Income Properties, then Och-Ziff Capital Management, but Boyne Canada has continued to run the ski operation for several years under a lease-back agreement. Boyne repurchased the resort in March 2018. The ski resort name Cypress Mountain is derived from the name of the bowl between the three mountains, Mount Strachan, Black Mountain, and Hollyburn Mountain – "Cypress Bowl", which was the original and still-used common name of the resort (the facilities by Cypress Bowl Recreations Ltd.). The term cypress comes from the yellow cedar tree Cupressus nootkatensis which is common in the park at altitudes over 800 metres, and is also known as yellow cypress, as well as from the name of the park in which the ski operation is located. Despite the resort name, there is in fact no mountain named Cypress Mountain in the park.[4] HistoryThe ski area was initially opened by BC Parks in the 1970s, after two Murray-Latta double-chairs were constructed on Mt. Strachan and Black Mountain. Night skiing was initially added in 1985 on those two chairs. In 1987, the Sky Chair was installed at the peak of Mt. Strachan, opening up new terrain and reaching the highest point on either mountain. The chair was a Mueller double relocated from Apex Mountain Resort.[5] Cypress was the first ski resort in BC to allow snowboarding, doing so on March 15, 1987. Another double-chair, the Midway Chair, was installed in 1990 on the lower slopes of Mt. Strachan. In 1997, the original double chair on Mt. Strachan was replaced with a Poma fixed-grip quad following the same lift line. After Cypress was purchased by Boyne Resorts in 2001, the original chairlift on Black Mountain was replaced by the Eagle Express, a detachable quad chair built by Doppelmayr. Additionally, the rope tow in the beginners area was replaced with a fixed-grip quad chair. In 2007, the Sunrise quad chair was replaced with the Lions Express Quad Chair. This reduced the ride time up Mt. Strachan by nearly half. The previous Sunrise chair was moved across to Black Mountain and was installed on new terrain, which opened 9 new ski trails. This chair is now called the Raven Ridge Quad Chair.[6] Climate{{Weather box|metric first=yes |single line= Y |location= Hollyburn Ridge (Cypress Mountain) (Elevation: 930.00 m) 1971−2000 | Jan record high C = 17.8 | Feb record high C = 16.7 | Mar record high C = 17.5 | Apr record high C = 22.5 | May record high C = 30.5 | Jun record high C = 31.7 | Jul record high C = 33.3 | Aug record high C = 32.0 | Sep record high C = 30.5 | Oct record high C = 26.7 | Nov record high C = 22.2 | Dec record high C = 12.8 | year record high C = 33.3 | Jan high C = 1.1 | Feb high C = 2.5 | Mar high C = 3.9 | Apr high C = 6.6 | May high C = 10.5 | Jun high C = 13.3 | Jul high C = 17.5 | Aug high C = 17.7 | Sep high C = 15.3 | Oct high C = 9.2 | Nov high C = 2.6 | Dec high C = 0.6 | year high C = 8.4 | Jan mean C = -1.4 | Feb mean C = -0.4 | Mar mean C = 0.8 | Apr mean C = 3.0 | May mean C = 6.3 | Jun mean C = 9.0 | Jul mean C = 12.6 | Aug mean C = 13.0 | Sep mean C = 10.6 | Oct mean C = 5.8 | Nov mean C = 0.3 | Dec mean C = -1.8 | year mean C = 4.8 | Jan low C = -4.0 | Feb low C = -3.2 | Mar low C = -2.4 | Apr low C = -0.6 | May low C = 2.0 | Jun low C = 4.7 | Jul low C = 7.6 | Aug low C = 8.2 | Sep low C = 5.9 | Oct low C = 2.3 | Nov low C = -2.0 | Dec low C = -4.1 | year low C = 1.2 | Jan record low C = -21.7 | Feb record low C = -20.0 | Mar record low C = -15.0 | Apr record low C = -8.3 | May record low C = -4.4 | Jun record low C = -2.2 | Jul record low C = 0.0 | Aug record low C = 0.6 | Sep record low C = -3.9 | Oct record low C = -14.0 | Nov record low C = -20.0 | Dec record low C = -26.7 | year record low C = -26.7 | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation mm = 310.0 | Feb precipitation mm = 301.4 | Mar precipitation mm = 249.7 | Apr precipitation mm = 177.6 | May precipitation mm = 177.6 | Jun precipitation mm = 155.7 | Jul precipitation mm = 120.2 | Aug precipitation mm = 120.7 | Sep precipitation mm = 149.0 | Oct precipitation mm = 299.9 | Nov precipitation mm = 389.7 | Dec precipitation mm = 354.0 | year precipitation mm = 2805.4 | rain colour = green | Jan rain mm = 173.1 | Feb rain mm = 164.6 | Mar rain mm = 139.7 | Apr rain mm = 107.1 | May rain mm = 167.9 | Jun rain mm = 155.4 | Jul rain mm = 120.2 | Aug rain mm = 120.7 | Sep rain mm = 148.4 | Oct rain mm = 285.6 | Nov rain mm = 284.1 | Dec rain mm = 213.2 | year rain mm = 2080.4 | snow colour = green | Jan snow cm = 136.9 | Feb snow cm = 136.9 | Mar snow cm = 110.0 | Apr snow cm = 70.5 | May snow cm = 9.6 | Jun snow cm = 0.2 | Jul snow cm = 0.0 | Aug snow cm = 0.0 | Sep snow cm = 0.1 | Oct snow cm = 14.3 | Nov snow cm = 105.7 | Dec snow cm = 141.9 | year snow cm = 726.1 | unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm | Jan precipitation days = 17.6 | Feb precipitation days = 16.5 | Mar precipitation days = 16.4 | Apr precipitation days = 15.2 | May precipitation days = 12.6 | Jun precipitation days = 12.9 | Jul precipitation days = 8.5 | Aug precipitation days = 9.0 | Sep precipitation days = 10.0 | Oct precipitation days = 15.1 | Nov precipitation days = 19.3 | Dec precipitation days = 18.9 | year precipitation days = 172.0 | unit rain days = 0.2 mm | Jan rain days = 8.8 | Feb rain days = 8.2 | Mar rain days = 8 | Apr rain days = 9.7 | May rain days = 11.8 | Jun rain days = 12.8 | Jul rain days = 8.5 | Aug rain days = 9 | Sep rain days = 9.9 | Oct rain days = 14.1 | Nov rain days = 12.7 | Dec rain days = 9.0 | unit snow days = 0.2 cm | Jan snow days = 12.2 | Feb snow days = 11.3 | Mar snow days = 11.2 | Apr snow days = 8.3 | May snow days = 2.2 | Jun snow days = 0.09 | Jul snow days = 0.0 | Aug snow days = 0.0 | Sep snow days = 0.09 | Oct snow days = 2.4 | Nov snow days = 10.9 | Dec snow days = 13.6 |source 1 = Environment Canada (normals, 1981−2010)[7] }} AmenitiesCypress Mountain has six chair lifts which include two high-speed detachable quad chairlifts (Eagle Express and the Lions Express), two fixed-grip quad chairs (Raven Ridge and Easy Rider) and two double chairlifts (Sky Chair and Midway. Plus a magic carpet and magic go round in the kids camp area plus a tube park tow.[8]
2010 Winter OlympicsDuring the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, Cypress hosted all of the freestyle skiing and snowboarding competitions (moguls, aerials, ski cross, half-pipe, snowboard cross and parallel giant slalom).[9] The half-pipe and the venues for the moguls and aerials were completed in the summer of 2007. Just before the games and due to unseasonably mild conditions, the ski resort was almost free of snow, where the snow had to be airlifted by helicopters and transported by trucks from higher elevations.[10] See also
