Grouse, Seymore or Cypress?

Hey, I'm gonna be going to SFU next fall and I'm wondering which mountain would suit me the best. I'm gonna most likely not going to have a car, so ease of access is a must, obviously the cheaper the better, but I'm willing to dish out a bit of extra cash for a better mountain. I'll mostly be skiing park but a little all mountain jibbing/side hits as well. Night skiing is a must, I wanna be able to ski as much as possible. if any locals have any input, it would be greatly appreciated.
 
i really like Mount Seymour personally, tons of side hits and fun park most of the time. i know Grouse has really stepped up their park game recently. Cypress is meh...

Which has longer lines? Which is closer to the city? And is grouses park that much better? Thanks homie
 
As someone whose skied these mountains his whole life..

Grouse has the best park, its the most creative and reliable every year, however theres not much to lap aside from park in my opinion for side hits. they have night skiing in the park and a few of the runs

Seymour has sick rails, their jumps are decent i suppose, they really dont give a fuck what happens on the mountain everything is fair game (build your own side hits etc) they also have some really fun side hits and natural hips. but like i said their park is big on rails not jumps. they have night skiing in the park and a few runs

As for Cypress, my opinion may be biased as i work park crew there, but its an extremely underrated mountain to lap, they have night skiing in both the park, and the other side of the mountain, they have the most terrain out of all the locals so skiing outside the park isnt a huge issue, theres always side hits to be found.. and their park game, though everyone hates on it, has stepped up big time in the last three years, its top to bottom now, usually a 4 jump line, and theres three different parks, a beginner park, then a flowy rail garden called the skatepark, and the 'district' where they throw in all their big features and jumps... also they never get lines cause everyone hates on it, theres only ever a few people skiing the park there, and a bunch of rich jerrys scootin around. the only downfall in my opinion of cypress is that theyre strict as fuck, they technically say 'no side hits' cause they hate fun, but its never been an issue for me
 
Hey man,

I've been skiing park for a few years, and I gotta say, I love the vibe of seymour.

I went to cypress last week, and it was busy af...and the park experience was ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I like seymour, they got a nice park, and lots of little side-jumps to hit.
 
Grouse

Pros

- only snow guns out of all the mountains

- good park (even with limited snow)

- easiest to get to

- most reliable mountain to be open

- gondola saves a lot of time busing

Cons

- most Jerrys out of all the mountains

- gondola lines on holidays make you want to die (most i have been in is 1 hour line)

- lifts are always stopping from jerrys falling

- terrain is probably the worst but not very far behind the other mountains

only have been to Cypress and Seymour around 3 times each so not going to say a lot about them but i find Seymour lips get packed down really quickly and no body likes that. Also don't know if its just me but all the rails there are very skinny and hard to grip.
 
Seymour has fun touring and a silly-fun-side-hitting inbounds with no fall line and a decent park.

Cypress has the best terrain but it's always been super crowded with gapers when I've gone.

Grouse has a good park.
