With Whistler only two hours away from the vibrant Vancouver, the capital of British Columbia has long been a home for workers who feel the need to be weekend warriors.
Closer to the city, Cypress Mountain is just one of three ski areas within Vancouver’s city limits. Like Whistler it was a venue at the 2010 Winter Olympics, hosting the freestyle competitions.
As such, the parks are state-of-the-art and complement the 52 trails, eight lifts and 19 km of Nordic trails, which all lie within a half-hour drive from downtown Vancouver.
