Note: Cypress have also scrapped the cheaper after 7pm night ticket, this new pricing model they have is garbage.
They have to be hurting season ticket sales this year, I have 5 friends who normally buy night passes and none have bought this year due to these pricing changes. We'll be heading to Whistler more often instead.

Get the seasons pass off-peak silver for 400 bucks... This place ain't worth it on a day pass 60-70 bucks forget when conditions are hit and miss. Weekends are painful, too many peeps and the quad chairs are packed, lineups take forever.
For pass holders it's a great deal. I ride 40-50 times a year... majority a quick two hour work out after work on weekdays where else can you work and ride the same day.
Food is greasy and expensive but I don't come here to eat.
Overall, not great for day pass person... they need to lower their prices as peeps would rather go to Whistler for a day and make it an event instead of paying these prices. Seasons pass silver is the way to go

Our family went to Cypress (Cypress Mountain) for years and now $400 X 5 (money to be put up now) has become way too expensive to board and ski on. The food has always been bad so start sending it back. We now go to Hemlock where prices are cheaper: no line ups, where the food isn't bad, snow is great and the bar lets minors in until, I believe 8 pm, staff are great. It would be nice to have web cams, so we can see if it's raining, snowing or sunny on Cypress, most mtns have this.
See you all, on the Mtns.

Took my brother and 16 year old nephew night skiing a few weeks ago (they were visiting from Ontario). We had a pretty good time. Love the night lighting here, and there was tons of fresh snow.
This time most of the lift operators were really cool, except two of course who just sat there like a bumps talking to each other even though the load area was a mess. I ragged on one and she just rolled her eyes and waddled into the cabin.
When we went to Raven for a burger it turned into big disappointment - aaaagghhh...no underage allowed!! Which meant we had to eat the crap in the cafeteria - and trust me it's overpriced greasy crap. I don't mind paying a premium, but it should at least taste good. Altitudes at Grouse is better all 'round re price and quality.
Get with it Cypress and make the Raven a restaurant, not a lounge.
BTW, I agree with another reviewer, unfortunately trickery is part of the game at all the local hills. Once you drive up, it's hard to drive back down if it's only lightly raining - Gotcha.
This site, Snow-forecast does a pretty good job, but you're right, Cypress could do a better job of customer service all round.
All in all though, still my fav local hill.

With the Gold Medal card, it's actually quite reasonable. You'll be hard pressed (if you hold a day job) to get your moneys worth out of a season pass of any kind, although with the record snowfall this year, it might have been worth it...but add a few weekends where you go to Whistler or Baker, it ain't really worth it.
Favourite has been Sunday late afternoon/evenings. No crowds, no lift-lines and there'll always be at least one decent groomed run to ride under the lights when darkness falls
Food is crap and expensive, but not quite as bad nor overpriced as Whistler. I can't see why it has to be so bad and expensive when Baker serves a much better fare for half the price?

I haven't been to Cypress in about 6 years and was shocked by the changes. I was super impressed compared to what it used to be like. The new lodge is amazing. Loved how easy it was to get from the different chair lifts (I did not use Raven Ridge lift so can't comment on it). Staff were pleasant but the lady in the retail store was absolutely fantastic (wish I could remember her name). I loved the runs, mainly sticking to the blues. They offered enough of a challenge and a good variety. Runs where well maintained (especially for this time of year). Can't wait to go back.

Cypress! Get with the times... you need automated real time temperature reports that show a rolling log for the past 24 hours. This is not cutting edge technology or an expensive investment. Why is this needed??... your weather reports are both misleading and infrequent. Customers appreciate a business they can trust and accurate reporting contributes to that; especially for a sport that sucks when it rains. Nothing p1sses a customer off more than being mislead. Do any of you powder hounds disagree? People can be more responsible for themselves if they know what their getting into... rain or snow.

High speed quads on both sides of the bowl, better, more diverse terrain than anywhere I've ridden and a 30 minute drive? Views the whole world travels for, and they sell beer.
People need to lighten up and be more responsible for themselves when they go out.
Cypress's facilities are better than ever - life is full of change, better deal with it, you might have some fun.
