| - Cypress Mountain is a ski area in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, located in the southern section of Cypress Provincial Park. The ski resort is just a short 20 minutes drive north of Vancouver, and has 38 named alpine ski runs (many accessible for night skiing) and 19 km cross country tracks. snowshoeing tours are also popular. Ski schools and rentals, cafeteria and lounge and a retail shop are also located on the premises. In summer the ski area is shut down, but there are many hiking trails in the park. However construction of the 2010 Venues will continue at a rapid pace in the next few years. The ski area's downhill runs are built on two mountains (Mt. Strachan - 1432m and Black Mountain-1193 m), on a vertical rise of 522m. Cypress Mountain itself is actually 24 km east, in Coquitlam. The name Cypress Mountain is derived from the name of the bowl between the two mountains - "Cypress Bowl", which was the original name of the resort. The term "Cypress" comes from the Yellow Cedar tree Chamaecyparis nootkatensis which is common in the park at altitudes over 800 metres, and is also known as Yellow Cypress.
