Facts |
Grouse Mountain has
North America's largest aerial tramway system |
The BC
Mountaineering Club recorded the first climb of Mount Seymour in 1908.
In February 1936, Mount Seymour Provincial Park
was established with a total of 677 acres. |
Formerly known as
Cypress Bowl, Cypress Mountain is an integral part of Cypress Provincial
Park, where development is restricted to preserve the unspoiled beauty of
the Coast Mountain range. The resort is just minutes from downtown
Vancouver, and offers a wide range of winter and summer activities.

Mountain every half hour. (Bus 232 from Phibbs Exchange/Bus 236 from
