MOUNTAIN UPDATE - MARCH 5, 2010

We are very excited to be re-opening for public skiing and riding on Tuesday March 9th.  Over the next four days the Olympic Overlay will be continued to be removed to enable us to open next Tuesday morning.

The Hours of Operation for both alpine and nordic skiing will be 10:00am to 7:00pm daily. Parking will be available in Lots 2, 3 and the Hwy Lot for alpine skiing and Lot 4 for nordic skiing, similar to December. The Cypress Shuttle Bus will be operating, consistent with the operating hours, please check the website for schedule.

Our current plan is to open Sky Chair with T-33, Ripcord, Glades, Horsefly Canyon and Tom Cat in exceptional condition; Lions Express Chair with Upper Cat Track, Upper Bowen, Gibsons, Humpty Dumpty and Hutch in superb condition; and Horizon and Collins with superb upper conditions and ski outs on the bottom third (below the top of Midway Chair) - over 1200 vertical feet of excellent snow conditions!  Easy Rider Chair will also be open in good condition.  We hope to open portions of the Olympic Courses on Black Mountain as soon as possible after March 9th and we will keep you up to date on timing for this exciting opportunity!  The Lower Terrain Park was stripped of snow to move the "Field of Play" on Black Mountain, however we will be looking at alternative areas on Mt Strachan to build a temporary area for Park enthusiasts - keep in touch for this announcement!

Discounted tickets rates will be in affect in both the Alpine and Nordic areas.

The Crazy Raven Bar & Grill and Cypress Creek Lodge will be in full swing for a great Spring season!

Keep in touch with the website for exciting developments for the Spring season and start to make your plans to ski or ride on Cypress Mountain. British Columbia's Only Gold-Medal Mountain!....with Big Mountain Alpine Skiing.

We hope to open as many Cross Country trails as possible and we will update you over the next week on available terrain.  The Tubing/Sliding Park will require fresh snow prior to opening for the Spring season.

PS: Please be aware, there are no Paralympic events being held on Cypress Mountain.
