Cypress Mountain Resort Adds $10 Paid Parking for the 2024-25 Season
Cypress Mountain Resort, one of the closest ski resorts to Vancouver, is introducing paid parking for the upcoming 2024-25 season. Starting from opening day, parking in Lots 1, 1A, 2, and 3A will cost $10 CAD. The decision comes in response to the high demand for parking, which often leads to traffic congestion. To ease the parking situation, Cypress will offer a free shuttle service from Lots 2, 3A, and 3B to the ski resort. Additionally, the resort plans to launch a carpooling app to further reduce traffic.
For those who want to avoid the parking fee, free parking options will still be available in Lot 3B and along a portion of the Nordic Area access road. Season and Sky Card pass-holders can park for free but must register their license plates. Ikon pass-holders, however, will need to pay for parking.
