Hey,
I move to Vancouver this year, I want to choose one resort close to Vancouver (Whistler is too far for me), which resort has the best park between Seymour, Grouse mountain and Cypress ?

Thanks!

Grouse has a really good park. Very fun night skiing.

I'd second Grouse just because of the view. Cypress has a very good park. I imagine Seymour would be comparable to both. Just go to whichever one is closest to you.

Seymour by far has the best park IMO, cypress isnt in the question...

Not talking shit on Grouse, and the views are nice, but I find the people at Seymour to be friendlier and I think their park has a better overall flow and progression.

Grouse has the best park no doubt way flowier than Seymour and with way more features than cypress. From what I've heard Seymour used to have a great park but it's fallen off a bit. Cypress park is just generally built shitty with very few features. Grouse also has the biggest jumps, smaller ski area than the others but way better park.

Grouse for sure, tons of fun line choices every year, there are pretty much three parks (wooden feature park, main park, and jump line), public transit goes right to the bottom of the gondola, and there is lots of parking as well if you have a car

its $111 to ski there a day. Id say $800 for a whistler pass and access to a lot of other resorts is a bargain. You gotta pay to play. and Whistler has some of the best terrain and their park is top notch. Not to mention a great village apres ski.

Used to be much cheaper before vail took over if ur on a budget a grouse y2play pass is your best bet I think mine was around $230 and u get the spring of that year + whole next season. Whistlers good but if ur sole focus is park and like most park rats ur poor af grouse is just more practical. I usually get a grouse pass and a couple edge card days but idk if they still do edge cards

Sorry for late reply, thank you for your answers ! So Grouse seems to be the best park, and I can ride the park by night.. that's a good point!
And beside the park ? Which one is the best ? I don't think there are good freeride spots in these resorts ?

I know Whistler is 2 hours from Vancouver, but I said it, I'm not interested to have a season pass for Whistler

You can actually ski all of the resorts in Vancouver at night grouse is nice tho cuz u get the sickest view. In terms of actual skiing cypress is probably the best if u know where to go, there's a lot of fun gladed sections but u won't find much challenging terrain. Seymour has one good chair at the very top and if there's a pow dump it's rly fun w 25-30ft cliffs in some spots, however Vancouver isn't exactly known for pow dumps and they rarely open that chair. Overall they all have pretty similar terrain, grouse is just the least challenging but it has the best park
