Reviews of Cypress Mountain (Bowling Alley)

Robson Pontin

Amazing cross country skiing experience!

Carolina Reyes

I went with my family. It was our 2nd time on a "snowy" mountain. We planned this trip for weeks. Every call we made everyone gave us a different information. We got there and the same thing happened. We bought tickets for the night lodge lights and it was the worst money I have ever spent. The lights exposition wasn't even close to the Capilano exhibition. We were in a really good mood and we enjoyed ourselves companionship... but I will never come back to this mountain. Grouse Mountain for me is much better

Jolic Ivica

Super

Kyle Pinner

Decent place for skiing, they don't disinfect any of the x-country footwear between uses though. Given that the boots gave both of my feet blisters, this seems kind of an issue. I would have the review to 5 stars if a boot cleaning program was implemented. I just feel like it's horrible that someone has to use my rentals after I possibly bled in the them.

Amazing experience

I love cypress

(Translated) Near ski area near Vancouver. There is no need to worry about raining on the mountain. This place is full of snow. It's snowing full of moisture. It is possible to hike in snowy things, cross country and sledding. The parking space is spacious but full on the weekends. You can relax many activities. Disadvantages: Cross Country Renting takes too long. The condition of the equipment is good. The lodge is small and there is not much space for rest. Good access because it's a good place. (Original) 밴쿠버 근교에 있는 가까운 스키장. 산 위에 있어서 비가 오는 걱정은 필요없다. 눈이 가득한 이곳은 습설이다. 습기를 가득 머금은 눈이 많이 내린다. 설피 같은 것을 신고 하이킹도 가능하고, 크로스컨트리, 눈썰매 다 가능한 곳이다. 주차공간은 넓게 되어있으나, 주말에 꽉 찬다. 많은 액티비티를 편하게 할 수있다. 단점 : 크로스컨트리 렌트하는데 너무 오랜 시간이 걸린다. 장비의 상태는 좋은 편. 랏지의 규모가 작아서 쉴수 있는 공간이 별로 없다. 접근성이 좋은 곳이라 좋다.

Mahshid Ghodusi

Snow shoe tour and music night are amazing!

Polly Chan

Busy.

John van Bockxmeer

A wonderful cross country skiing area with a large number of trails with green (easiest), blue and black (hardest) ratings. You can find snowshoeing too! There is a small recently rebuild lodge where you can get burgers and other refreshments overlooking a lake which freezes over in winter. You don't need a pass to get to the Hollyburn Lodge

José Miguel López Molina

(Translated) Really nice view (Original) Muy buena vista

Kathleen Nelsen

Great place to get out and enjoy the fabulous views of the city, great snowshoeing!

(Translated) Good place for winter skiing in summer hiking (Original) 冬季滑雪夏季徒步的好地方

Brennan Wadsworth

Hollyburn snowshoe trail is the most popular stop here for those who are comfortable hiking. The trail has always been busy but not crowded when we go on the weekend on nice days. We have also done just the snowshoeing through the nordic area and had a great time, it is always nice to just get out into the fresh air and the North Shore mountains are perfect for that. Getting a parking spot will be easier for the Cypress nordic area than Seymour because Cypress has a separate parking area.

Andrea Lyman

Absolutely beautiful experience, bring a change of clothes. Don't forget to stop for a coffee after. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, thank you Randy for your help.

Ali Chaudhary

What a great fun place for families in the winter. Staff is helpful.

Steve B.

Very easy to visit, great views, awesome trails for snowshoeing.

Jason Ross

Excellent powder for snowshoeing. Trails are clearly marked and there is a variety of difficulty levels (easy, moderate, and hard). Staff are friendly and helpful. There's maps to help guide you on the trails. No fire up at the warming hut (covid), but you can sit inside it. Stunning views! It is difficult to find a parking spot (went Dec 30) probably because of Christmas season. We will be back!

Jessica Cochran

Awesome cross country skiing trails, snow shoeing, and tubing. Rentals are affordable and good quality. The lodge has good snacks and meals, plus music on the weekend.

John Woodmansee

Employee with Cypress told our group of 7 that we weren't welcome at the Nordic Area. Made for an unpleasant situation.

Will Peer

This place is heaven on Earth! I only wish they could open brothers canyon for longer. Almost no flat ground, so have fun climbing! ⛷️

Boon Yew

We hiked to the Hollyburn Peak via the Winter Access Trail. It was an approx 3.5 hr hike out and back. The trail had a steep start. Then it was pretty flat in the middle with some minor up and down. The last 1/4 to the top was the most challenging section in terms of the steepness. Remember to dress in layers. Could be cold when you are idling. Heat up quickly as you grind up. Hard packed snow as long as you stayed on the trail. Snow spike was more than sufficient and was easier to navigate than snowshoes in my view. Bring hiking poles if you have. Was helpful to get up and down at the steepest section. Trail was wide by large. Able to keep good distance with the fellow hikers. When you approached the very steep section, you would see a snowman shortly while grinding up. From there, you were about 40 mins away to the top. The top had 360 view. Gorgeous. Birds were curious and friendly. They flew close to you. Coming down the very steep section was challenging but fun. We sat down to slide at some steep section. We were able to walk down too with the aid of the hiking poles. The trail was clearly marked. As far as parking condition goes, we arrived the parking at 8:30am. Good amount of parking spots available. Traffic to the mountain only started to slow down near the Hollyburn Nordic Area entrance.

Timothy Kim

Not the nicest people today

Jessica Trottier

Great friendly staff, well organized. Tubing was a blast 2hrs is more then enough time.

Alym Amlani

Awful. The hills are tiny for sledding. This should be free, not 12 dollars per person. The people / staff were awesome and literally the only reason this isn't a one star review. Spend your money at Seymour instead.

Sumiti Saharan

Beautiful, lush, great for trekking and birdwatching

G W

They were so helpful with our shooting there. Kids visiting we're having a blast.

A great fun family getaway just so close to the city. Stunning views. Easy access. Book online to avoid sold out time slots. Dress extra warm with cozy socks and good winter boots, gloves, hats and jackets. A must go again for us.

COWPOK3

It is all that we have in Vancouver

Vicki Scully

Beautiful and very few people on the trails! (Despite busy parking area) owners should use a shuttle for timed tubing to take pressure off parking for actual skiers

Francis Vaillancourt

My family and I have been going to the Cypress Nordic area for 5 years. It is great value (if you buy the season's pass) and a great activity for the family. The terrain is very challenging for Nordic (skate and classic) so we go back again and again to improve and enjoy more. There are many viewpoints that are spectacular. Hollyburn lodge is simple and rustic, just what we need to break the day. Of course, it is not perfect, most notably is the parking lot which is difficult to access due to the amount of traffic and only 1 road. Not knowing if it will take 15 min to drive up or 1 hr is hard with young kids. Also, it can be busy at Hollyburn lodge at times and they only have 1 highchair. I feel it is busier because a lot of people are just walking from the parking lot without a ticket; they could do something about that. Finally, keep in mind that sliding and tubing is expensive (over 30$ for tubing, 16$ for sliding).

Anthony Costa

Great trails, nice cabin to warmup in.

Tony Mauro

Can get very busy on weekends but beautiful skiing

Geoffrey Shmigelsky

Not a great experience. Wouldn’t go back. They should have helmets on the tube run for starters.

Natalie J

Great day Snowshoeing!

Russell McMaster

Great..price of rentals plus fee for the trails were reasonable.

大威德David

good hiking trails, good place to gather a group of people. magnificent views.

Julien Powell

I went Nordic skiing yesterday and the staff were excellent - helpful, friendly, attentive. The entire staff - parking, tickets, rentals, by the trail entrance, cafe. They helped make the experience special. And of course the snow was great and lodge food delicious. I can’t wait to come back.

Ed B

Best place to go for the cross-country skiing enthusiasts: close to Vancouver, many scenic trails, astonishing views, different levels - from novice to super experienced, ski and boots rentas. Relatively affordable prices. PROS: all the above + more CONS: base might benefit from better maintenance and mild extension. On a busy day warming hut is too small to accommodate everybody. No firepit. No free wifi.

La Vitta E Bella

Beautiful place! Love it so much all year around.

Casey von Hahn

Quiet, easy hiking with nice lakes and views. Be bear aware and bring hiking essentials.

Richard Loat

This side of cypress mountain is fantastic for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and for snow tubing. As with the rest of the mountain, parking can be a little bit challenging most of the time, particularly when there has been good snow. With that said if you get there early you should be able to find a spot and enjoy all of the winter activities that you can on this side of the mountain.

Albert Yeo

Great weekend getaway.

Tina Louise Metzger

Great snow, fun, varied terrain, lighted trails for night skiing and beautiful vistas, what more could you need!?

Sahil Dhillon

Fun place to go with your family and friends. Will surely go next year too ????

Monita L

Nice place to have fun with your family.

Rafael Beltran

Nice place to enjoy outdoor

Mahtab Haghighi

Good trail for snowshoeing, not so long but fun.

Majker Alex Majkrak

Tubing is definitely fun activity with kids, but weekends are overcrowded, feel like they overselling tickets. So 3 starts for way to many ppl. I think capacity should be lower. I was waiting for lift over 7 minutes, its much faster just walk uphill. Another 4-5 minutes waiting to slide down. If you can, avoid weekends. Weekday not that busy. Overall fun experience, just that waiting in line not fun

Michael Henderson

It just one of those awesome places to hang out for a day or so. Great skiing cross country or down hill. Hiking is superb. The staff up there are really nice. Go visit you won't regret.

Allana Kate

It's a beautiful place to go when is winter.

Greg

Cosy place for a snack and drink after or during ski!

Zoe Capps

Had a great time. The trails are beautiful, clearly marked and easily accessible. We came on a busy weekend day and it wasn’t too painful to find parking or get rentals. There are an extensive network of snowshoe trails suitable for beginners to the more advanced. It’s super convenient to have a lodge with food and drinks centrally located. The ordering process was a bit disorganized however the food was good and the drinks cold. We definitely plan on coming back again. Rentals must be returned by 430 so ensure to leave yourself enough time. Really beautiful trails which are clearly marked and have little signs with points of interest. Really fun activity and beautiful location.

Mauricio Martinez

It is necessary to bring enough money to be able to rent the equipment if you do not have it and if you have a large family

Vlad Kaplan

Beautiful trails! Amazing sceneries! Everything organized and functional and clean! Too.o.o many people!!..

Raymond J. Morgan

Super fun

JCA 616

Powder Snow perfect for snowboarding, tobogganing etc.

My sanctuary. We go twice a week and look forward to visiting the area in all seasons.

Peter Vapenik

Great snow conditions.

Andrew Jonathan

You need to be on the mountain early to avoid line ups for parking.

Charrise Millan

Good snowshoeing ????????????️ need outdoor area to have sandwich ???? should have window to serve coffee ☕ in totally outdoor patio❄️ COVID friendly ????

Wendy Hunter

Things have changed over the years, but it remains a great locale for x-country skiing or snow shoeing. Warning: weekends are crazy busy and you may have to park way down the road if the parking lot is full. Be prepared for long waits for ticket sales and rentals too. Can be done online to save some of the hassle.

Thomas Read

Great time XC skiing here for the first time. If you are a beginner like me, ask the staff for suggestions or better yet book lessons. I wiped out a few times to start but got the hang of it pretty quickly. Just stick to the green runs. You got this!

Jen Ny

For sledding. The rules aren't written or on the website. You only know about it by the lady yelling on the hill. No 2 kids allowed on the same sled. Even if the sled seats 2. Then adults aren't allowed to sled by themselves (or after their kids) even though you paid $10. And you can't watch your kids in the area without paying the $10. And kids under 10 aren't allowed inside by themselves so really for a child under 10 years it costs $20. Not $10. None of these rules are on the website or written visibly on site. Also the website clearly states all ages which is not true because it should say" children only "or it should say "adults allowed only with a child under 10 years".

Brian Taylor

Hollyburn Lodge is a great place to just hangout and warm up after a few laps of cross country skiing.

Sarah “One hit wonder” Krol

Beautiful clear day

Shannon Lyons

So fun for the kids to play and sled!

Kush N

Snow bars, that's all I need to say...... Go find them!

Edward Pickett

Beautiful day to take my colleague from Turkey to see some snow. Worth the drive just to see the kids playing.

C Parker

Stunning place. Loved snow shoe trails.

Gregory Kehm

The skiing is weather dependent but the food and good cheer at the recently renovated Hollyburn Lodge are always fine. Even better at night!

Lexi Johnson

Phenomenal facilities tucked away in the Hollyburn Nordic Area include a renovated heritage cross country chalet stocked with a licensed restaurant to warm you up throughout the day. Careful consideration to the environment and heritage of the area results in a perfect compliment to the breathtaking natural beauty of Cypress Mountain.

Ryan Reese

Went on a night time snowshoe tour with fondue at the end. It was a great time. I want to go snowshoeing again!

Ali furniture (Ak3ng)

Nice view and fun drive all year round.

A Z

Amazing for families, groups and individuals. Can't recommend enough! Great for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snow tubing etc and only one hour from the city!

Kimya Kasra

So much fun tubing!!! Great to get outside and play!

JustADadOutdoors

Took the kids tubing. Have been up many times for winter and summer activities. Snowshoeing, Nordic trails and tubing, and more just up the road.

Greg Stortz

Amazing for a intermediate hike - took about 4.5 hours with snow on the ground! Get some friends out and have fun!

Leonid Ganeline

Excellent place for skiing.

Angel Chan

Very fun and staff are organized.

Ricky Weeks

The nordic area parking was great. Not far to walk to tubing, snow shoe or cross country skiing area. The sun was shining this day so warm (about 3° above 0) Excellent snow conditions. Roads were completely cleared and salted. Looking forward to returning for a ski day on the big hill : )

Clarissa Brown

Very very beautiful with all the snow but if you intend to go site see just know it's all ticket requirements and no place to in enjoy the snow freely. Except half way down the mountain

Aziz Zouaoui

Love how close to the city it is. Parking is always a pain on weekends, so be aware.

Adette Balot

We did the snow tubing before the snow will melt.. My kids had fun even tho its foggy. It was a great experience????

雨田教练IG: Rayjianhui

You won't regret! The trail is free to use!

Voyager [*]

Excellent place to enjoy the nature year round. Every season has its charms. Always friendly and professional staff, making sure protocols are followed.

Heath Delzer

We went snowshoeing here for the first time. I personally find snowshoeing like like skiing. If you have your own equipment, then it's pretty cheap for just tickets. Once you add rentals it becomes cost prohibitive for families. Snowshoeing itself becomes a expensive walk in the park. That probably colors my review a bit, but I'll try to be objective. The rental process was pretty painless despite being busy. Equipping shoes was self explanatory, and they have trail maps you can take to guide you. I appreciated the layout of the trails with a Cafe Lodge in the middle. This makes it easy to plan when you're going to take a break, have some food and drink and carry on, or go home. The lodge has standard fare. Prices are what you might expect from "the only game in town" venue. They are licensed, with several signature brews to try(cans/bottles). The trails are well marked and variable terrain even at the green level. There were posted at intervals, nature information on what potentially could be observed in the area. Unfortunately, there were too many hikers about, and no wildlife to be found. Overall I found it good exercise, and an ok nature hike for where we walked. We didn't venture into the blue and black areas, so I can't say how good they are.

Genova Pangan

My kids love the group tubing! It was amazing experience

Christopher “Husbandito” Clarke

Great fondue and an epic winter night snowshoeing adventure.

Renato Rodrigues Martins

(Translated) Nice place for people with money. Super easy access to Vancouver. Excellent accommodations and restaurants. A wonderful weekend tour. (Original) Lugar de gente bacana e com dinheiro.

Excellent Nordic ski area. Well groomed tracks. Comfortable Lodge. 20 minutes drive from downtown Vancouver..

kingxl10

Tubing was super fun, somewhat long lineups but it was a Saturday so that’s expected

Allen Smith

Bit average. Poor signposting.

Tarek Mher Al Saadi

Another great place for the ski lovers

Roland Haynes

Still lots of snow and fun!!

Alborz Heydaryan

Fun and cheap experience to do with family members who do not have skiing experience but want to do some winter activities. You can buy tickets online ahead of time which is nice.

Ben Olivier

Beautiful snowshoe trails with plentiful options for all fitness levels

Jack Chan

Devansh Babla

Beautiful views, even in the fog. The trails were a little icy but not too shabby for a day trip.

Kerry Ezekiel

Went for a snowshoe hike through the trails. Awesome venue and location, right down to the chalet in amongst the trails. Only drawback is the lack of parking. Had to park onto the roadway and walk 15 minutes to get to the ticket booth. Had I gotten a chance to find a spot in the parking lot, would've been 5 stars.

Jaydev Pala

Loved the experience!

Chris Hatty

Cheese and chocolate fondue was a hit. We had lots of fresh powder, so snow shoeing was a good work out. The lodge was comfortable, the guides made us feel like royalty, serving food, drinks and entertainment. Scenery was spectacular and winter lights a bonus. Highly recommend the experience.

Darci Robson

Winter wonderland....so close to the city

Kyle Warkentin

Was such a great experience today- I had an issue come up with the purchase of rentals of skis and the manger was so quick to ensure I was taken care of, went out of their way to be of excellent service I didn’t catch the name but I know they were a manager and maybe accent was Australian? Top service thanks again and thanks for the gloves they are great! :)

Saiwan S.

Give you a perfect view of Vancouver, North Van, West Van and Lions gate Bridge,, small area for parking compared to weekends that gonna be crowded

Kevin Robertson

Really beautiful area and lots of trails start here for hiking. Just be aware of the conditions and where you are going. It's very easy to get into trouble and not really a good area for just a casual walk. There a public washroom here too that's open in the summer.

G Brar

Where to begin... Got tickets for snowshoeing with the family for 12-12-2021. We spent 1.5 hours getting to the Cypress to show up to no light set ups and everything completely closed for snowshoeing! Apparently Cypress website was incorrectly buily and gave us tickets to a day they were not set up yet. Still no apologies and still waiting for refunds. Just wow! Horrible customer service.

John 'n Jane Reach

Great Nordic area! Fabulous snowshoeing and beautifully groomed cross country trails and tours. They also have an awesome snow tubing area complete with tow rope. Its like the 'glamping' of tobogganing. If u don't mind standing in line. It's the lazy man's sledding. You literally sit in your tube, get towed up the mountain to choose 1 of the 4/5 runs to slide down. Not alot of effort and tons of fun. Or you can beat the line and walk up if you wanna get more runs in. The staff here seem to really enjoy their jobs and it shows in their positive attitudes and great people skills. The only downfalls are the time slots are in 2 hour increments which almost doesn't feel long enough. Great for kids and adults alike. I believe riders must be 10 and up though. We visited with 6 kids 13 and under and they had a blast but coulda stayed longer for sure. You can buy tickets for another round if u don't mind forking out another $30. But... parking free.

Selene Jang

Such a beautiful view up top. Worth the steep climbs.

Spectacular 360 degree view of the mountains and city. Can't ask more than that

Sorin Rizea

Lights to the lodge trail a magical lights trek

Eric Christensen

I mostly go for the night skiing sure to my schedule but it is great for that. Easy to get to. Adequate amounts of rolling terrain. Well lit and reasonably priced tickets. It gets a bit busy when the Hollyburn club are training but there's still lots of room and you certainly don't feel crowded out. Times I have been in the day, there is about 3-4 times more terrain with bigger hills. A good workout!

First snowfall if the year!!! Busy place today

Susan Heimsoth

Hollyburn lodge snowshoeing was great.

Jessica Chan

great place to go snowshoeing or cross country skiing. the parking lot is not too busy and there are also areas to go toboggan and tubing. Each building is distinctly labeled so you know where to go for ticket pickup and rental pickup. The Lights at the Lodge snowshoe event is available now and offer a lot of liberty as to where and how fast you want to do your snowshoeing. Lights are beautiful and really light up the path. Reminder that winter tires are required to drive up to Cypress, M+S is not sufficient.

Jack Brondwin

Spring skiing*****.Sunny, warm, empty of people. Snow a touch slower but otherwise a great experience. This is skiing on a working day. Weekends when it is sunny have been known to be very crowded.

Anika Arora

Beautiful moderate trail on Cypress mountain, stunning views as far as Surrey and Coquitlam from the peak, and both well marked and do-able without snowshoes for an average hiker!

Rasoul Slater

Take a lesson with Russ at the Cross Country Ski. He is a highly skilled and very patient instructor who will have you skiing better after 1 lesson!

Marcus Choi

It was really good! The staff were really polite and nice, and when I lost my glove, they notified me when they found it.

César Avila

The tubing is the best

Sean Conner

Enjoy cross-country. Love the lodge.

Jeff Francis

Had a lot of fun snowshoeing at night with a lit path. More lights would be great, but fun all the same.

ebj vidovic

They had fun today the staff was super kind to the kids. My son is autistic and the guy running the tub park had so much patience with him..

Kirk Robinson

Once you get past the hurdle of climbing the mountain and finding a place to park, this is a great place to spend an evening in the snow. Bring lots of patience on weekends and holidays... it can be totally nuts here. Be prepared for pay parking in some lots. ???? Hollyburn lodge is a great place to have a break from snowshoeing. Snow tubing area is pretty fun, but small. Good for a couple hours of fun.

Tim CM

Great spot to go snowshoeing. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Heaps of gear to hire. If you’re coming from Vancouver there’s an easy shuttle you can get

Thilie Cordeiro

Beautiful e cheaper place(compared with Grouse Mountain). Doesn't have a picnic desk or seats and a good coffee.

Alexandra Orosfoian

Really nice hike, very easy, the beginning is very steep for like the first 2-300 metres and then it's quite flat. It was a cloudy /foggy day but we still got a glimpse of the beautiful view on top. Definitely recommend for a more relaxed hike????

Gerardo Herrera Tenorio

It's a nice place

Hamed Nazeri

Very nice snowshoe trail and beautiful lighting at night.

reb lee

Best time to go for the Light the Lodge is at 4ish. Grab the daylight to walk around before sunset, take as many daylight photos. Regardless of which trails u choose, set your direction to the Hollyburn Lodge, leave enough time to sit down there, relax and enjoy the foods and hot coco. If snow condition is good, that's the best place for kids to do snow fight. Good memory for kids. After that, you shall be able to enjoy the night version of the snow woods ???? Enjoy the magical lights on ur way back. And remember to continue to take more pictures.

Fred Nahirny

Great runs, friendly helpful staff, fun time for everyone so long as you know how to cross country ski. Pick a day when its sunny and kids are in school to avoid the crowds

Nadim Sayani

Not as fast going down the hill with the toboggan, however I haven't tried the skiing

Sharon Tanner

So pretty when there is lots of snow. The trails are well marked and close to home

Hakphil Kim

Good for snow shoeing.

A.J. Mc

Took the kid sledding there recently. I booked online a day in advance so I had a scheduled and guaranteed time to slide. Great idea because I happened to venture there on an extremely busy day. The traffic crawled for the last 2-3kms before I lucked upon a spot to park. The poor staff at the canteen seemed totally overwhelmed. Other than that some of the facilities like the washrooms seemed totally lacking for the thousands of people there (2 stalls in the mens room and 3 in the womans room). Only advise to people would be to avoid the place on busy long weekends or if possible, all weekends.

tony steinruck

Vancouver is lucky to have nordic trails so close to the city. Lots of well lit night skiing. Track setting is minimal, insufficient and inconsistent considering this site receives more skiers than any other nordic area in Canada. Trail system is constrained and loops back on itself likely due to provincial park restrictions on building new trails. Good place if you need a short rip close to the city or are a beginner. Head to Callaghan instead if you have the time.

Vincent Tighe

Evening snow shoeing tour was very well done by the Cypress Mountain team as well as the eats along the way. Do wish I'd waited for the lighter evenings to enjoy the surroundings in a bit more day light - will do that next time!

J D

Had fun tubing! Staff was very helpful and friendly!! A little expensive for the amount we got to tube, but definitely worth the trip up????

jk kim

Good hiking trail course for intermediate level. Still a few blackflies in summit.nice view of Vancouver. 16 km in round distance.Blueberries are still there.

Robbyn Ouellette

Beautiful nature. Staff awesome. Had a great day.

Eduard Neumann

Ok

Natalia Semenova

Before renting cross country skies I asked the receptionist, if the classic ski trails are in a good condition and how many trails are open for classic ski. She replied that all trails are open for classic skies, except for the West lake. That was not true at all. Many trails did not have classic ski tracks at all and very few that did had it in awful condition. I was not able to use the skies and had to walk most of the time. If I knew the tracks are non-existing, I would better rent a pair of snowshoes. When I returned the skies to the rental, there was still 2h before the shuttle bus to Vancouver. There was no place to wait for it: nowhere to take cover, nowhere to sit. The Nordic cafe was closed and when I tried walking to the Lodge, I was told that I need to rent some equipment again (skies or snowshoes, otherwise it is not allowed). This is totally ridiculous, because in fact there is a hiking trail starting from the far end of the parching lot, but for some reasons the employees decided not to tell me about it. And here we have: (1) worst ski tracks ever (2) worst customer service in greater Vancouver area (3) bad quality of rental skis . So I will definitely not recommend this to any of my friends

Annie Tsai

A nice place to explore

Eric Beauchesne

Fantastic. The Nordic Skiing is a wonderful experience and skiing at night is just about the best thing you can do outside in winter.

Angela Geib

Great snowshoeing

It is almost impossible to get some info by phone, and you have to phone them, because their is not info on their website related to my question. Buying discount ticket for silver pass holder takes ages to figure it out.

Excelent place for skiing and snow shoeing. They have paths for diferent experience levels. Only 30 minutes from downtown driving. Equipment for rental available. You can practice with your own equipment at the bottom of the mountain just before the signs without paying.

Today, my family had decided to go sledding on Cypress Mountain. So we went to the ticket office to buy the tickets to go sledding. The lady working at the ticket office said that it was sold out for the whole week. But, she also said that since it was sold out, we can go sledding in one area that is free. So we went there, and went sledding! After about 20 minutes, we saw another lady who worked there, named Kate I think, came to us. She had a bucket of SAND carrying in her arms. Without saying anything, she began dumping the sand with the shovel, on the beautiful white snow! This SHOCKED me! Since it shocked me so much, I asked what she was doing. She said " You're kids are NOT allowed to sled in this RESTRICTED area. And then I said that your coworker said that my family was allowed to sled here. But then she continued pouring the bucket of sand on the clean snow. To me, this was a very cruel action and not humanity. So after she was done putting sand onto the snow, she left. Her actions made my kids cry and get very scared. Once a week, I come to Cypress, and I always pay for the sledding area, but this time it was booked.

We were here yesterday for tubin and we had a blast. I love the fact that they give you time slots and the lineups were not bad at all. Lots of staff members that were very friendly and super energetic. We were 22 happy people after 2 hours of tubing.

Covid-friendly activities in the Nordic area! Went for snow shoeing and had a snack at the Hollyburn Lodge. Make sure you go early as the hot apple cider ran out in the evening!

Awesome trails for snowshoeing

I was in a car line up for 50 min to get to snowshoeing. I would really appreciate some info about a parking lot availability in advance. I could have parked my car earlier on my way to the nordic area when the spots were still available along the road and save some time. When I got to the spot where I had to turn to the nordic area, every car was turned back. If I had not opened my car window to ask a question, I would have been sent back as well. I was lucky to be directed to the parking lot of the nordic area and we had a good time snowshoeing.

Sledding 12 $, for a 5 year old who got bored after 2 rides, plus the adult needs to pay 12 $ to accompany the under 6 y old, waste of money, 8 year old asked to never come here

Judy

Very special place...today new snow....snowshoe trail well groomed, trees dressed in coats of white. The lights come on about 3:30 and transform the trail into a magical sparkling fairy land. So perfect....you can forget all about covid19 for a little while.

This time I visited at the end of spring almost, but doesn't matter when you visit Cypress Mountain beauty of nature always is there to watches and enjoy of course fresh air quality. It's take about half an hour from downtown Vancouver to arrive at the mountain and if you look carful you may see black bear from mid spring to end of summer I seen it but be careful keep your distance, bald eagles are common to locate and watching their magnificent flights. As you see most reviews are about skiing but there is a lot more to Cypress Mountain than just ski if you like biking in the fresh environment even for a few hours this a place to be or just hiking or simply walking around and enjoy the outdoors and panoramic views of howe sound and Vancouver lower mainland and the surrounding nature environment you can see and feel first hand. In summer when sunshine is all over the mountain and long days in the west coast there is multiple trails available for hikers that you can spend long hours in this unique mountain trail just be prepared since many different animals also share this parks with humans enjoy the Cypress Mountain.
