Vancouver Ski Program

Vancouver
|
Our package features the two best ski areas at the North Shore Mountains in Vancouver. Not even 30 minutes from downtown enjoy downhill, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides with spectacular views of Burrard Inlet, Whistler mountains and the city of Vancouver sparkling at night. Cypress Mountain is best known for its challenging terrain. Though beginning and intermediate skiers will find plenty of undulating runs, Mount Strachan claims eight black-diamond runs. At Grouse Mountain the Skyride aerial tram whisks skiers from the parking area to on-the-mountain staging facilities at 3,700 feet. Both mountains offer night skiing and après-ski until 11pm. During the day explore beautiful downtown Vancouver with its many attractions.

Cypress Mountain - Full Day Skiing from 8:30 am – 10:00 pm
In the morning enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading to the ski area. Cypress' base is set in a bowl between two peaks, 4,785-foot Mount Strachan and 4,026-foot Black Mountain. The area's Sunrise quad goes to a shoulder of Strachan, from which several mostly intermediate runs descend. Also reached from there is the short but steep double Sky Chair, which tops out on Strachan, another jaw-dropping viewpoint and the jumpoff for the black diamond drops. The new fast quad, Eagle Express, climbs the opposite side of the bowl up Black Mountain, which features a mix of intermediate trails and the more daunting runs, all offering good snowboard terrain. For the Nordically inclined, Cypress also offers a separate, well-regarded cross-country area with a full-service base and a 19-kilometer network of trails, with seven kilometers lit at night. Enjoy après-ski in the full service lounge before returning to downtown.

Vancouver - Grouse Mountain - 1/2 Day Skiing from 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
After a delicious breakfast explore the port city Vancouver. In the afternoon experience the thrill of winter at Grouse Mountain whether you're snowboarding or skiing for the first time, or already a master of the mountains, there is an endless variety of terrain to be explored. If it's an adrenaline rush you're looking for, confront the double black descents of Purgatory and Devil's Advocate. Or, if gentle slopes and easy-going turns are more your style, head for The Cut. With The Screaming Eagle, the high-speed detachable quad chair, to whisk you to the top, you'll get more out of the slopes! Ski at Grouse Mountain beneath a canopy of stars and gaze out over the brilliant lights of Vancouver. After skiing relax and savour great tastes at any of the superb restaurants from casual to elegant dining before the Tram takes you on a gentle ride down to the city.
