Cypress Mountain — Above Howe Sound | Advent Local Legends | Framed Art Print

Vancouver's mountain. The one that locals claim as their own.

Cypress Mountain rises above West Vancouver on the North Shore, its runs dropping through old-growth Douglas fir and cedar toward one of the great views in all of skiing — Howe Sound spread out below, its islands and inlets stretching south toward the Strait of Georgia, the light shifting silver and grey across the water as the Pacific weather moves through. On a clearing winter day, skiing Cypress is skiing above the ocean.

It is the closest ski hill to downtown Vancouver, the one that generations of Lower Mainland families learned on, worked on, and returned to season after season. Cypress hosted the freestyle skiing and snowboard events at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics — the halfpipe, slopestyle, and moguls competitions that brought the world’s cameras to the North Shore mountains. But for the locals who were there before the world arrived, Cypress has always been something simpler: the hill above the city, the one you can see from your kitchen window on a clear morning, the mountain that belongs to the people who live below it.

This print captures Cypress at its most iconic — a skier carving down the groomed runs beside the chairlift, Howe Sound and its islands spread across the horizon below, the Pacific sky breaking open above the North Shore peaks. Atmospheric, West Coast, and unmistakably home.
