Cypress Mountain is located in West Vancouver and will
be the host for the Cypress Mountain Olympics in 2010.
Cypress Mountain has been one of the hot spots in Vancouver
for alpine skiing,
Nordic skiing, and other unique wintertime sports. From
Cypress Mountain, visitors can view the harbor, the city
of Vancouver, and of course
the location for freestyle skiing and snowboarding in
the upcoming Winter Olympics.
Security measures at the Cypress Mountain Olympics are underway with over 5,000 police officers planned to be positioned throughout Vancouver with high emphasis on security, safety, and crowd control. Residents of Vancouver will see route changes and other safety measures prior to the beginning of the Cypress Mountain Winter Olympics.
The Cypress Mountain Winter Olympics will be held on the mountain that has been upgraded and modified specifically for the Winter Olympics in 2010. A few of the modifications include a water reservoir, a snowmaking system, an in-ground half pipe, plus many more improvements or upgrades. Preparing for the Cypress Mountain Olympics was started in May 2006.
The Cypress Mountain Winter Olympics will be the place to be for watching the world’s best athletes in freestyle skiing and snowboarding compete to win the gold.
