West Vancouver, British Columbia · North Shore Mountains
Cypress Mountain
Cypress Mountain has downhill skiing and snowboarding on Black Mountain and Mount Strachan, plus a separate Nordic area on Hollyburn Ridge. That distinction matters for a Vancouver winter outing: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and downhill lessons do not all start at the same place.
- Black Mountain and Mount Strachan downhill terrain
- Hollyburn Ridge Nordic area
- Separate downhill and Nordic arrival points

Forecast for the resort’s coordinates from MET Norway (opens in a new tab) (CC BY 4.0). Conditions vary with elevation. It is a weather forecast, not an avalanche or terrain assessment. Leaving the ski area boundary? Check the regional avalanche forecast (opens in a new tab). Times are the resort’s local time. Precipitation is the amount of water, with any snow or sleet melted, so it is not snow depth.

Terrain and ability at Cypress Mountain
The resort publishes downhill maps for both mountains and separate Nordic maps. Green Zones mark slow skiing and riding areas, where pace should match surrounding learners. Choose the day's open runs and an appropriate downhill lesson rather than assuming a Nordic trail leads to alpine lifts.
Arrival, bases and lessons
Cypress Bowl Road serves both activity areas, with the Nordic destination reached before the downhill area. Check current winter driving requirements and transport options. Cypress Creek Lodge is a downhill landmark; use the Nordic instructions for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
Plan a meetup at Cypress Mountain
Write 'downhill at Cypress Creek Lodge' or 'Nordic area' in your plan. If friends book different activities, arrange a later reunion with travel between them accounted for. Check a night activity's own map and hours rather than applying the downhill schedule.
Use the meetup message planner for Cypress Mountain to agree on your date, terrain, pace and meeting point.
