Cypress Mountain is a ski area in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, located in the southern section of Cypress Provincial Park, and is operated under a Park Use Permit. The ski resort is a 30- minute drive north of downtown Vancouver, and has 53 named alpine ski runs and 21.2 km cross country of trails. Snowshoeing tours are also popular. Snow schools and rentals, cafeteria and Crazy Raven Bar and Grill and a Big Bear Sports retail shop are also located on the premises. The Resort is legally known as Cypress Bowl Recreational Limited Partnership, previously owned by Boyne Resorts and recently sold to CNL Income Properties of Florida, but Boyne will continue to run the ski operation for several years under a lease-back agreement. The ski resort name Cypress Mountain is derived from the name of the bowl between the three mountains, Mt. Strachan, Black Mountain, and Hollyburn Mountain - "Cypress Bowl", which was the original and still used common 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, as well as from the name of the park in which the resort lies.
