Yes, the snow at Cypress Mountain is real. The resort relies on a combination of natural snowfall and a snowmaking system to create and maintain suitable skiing and snowboarding conditions. Cypress Mountain implemented a state-of-the-art, fully automated snowmaking system. This system was strategically designed to capitalize on high productivity during periods of low temperature and humidity. Equipped with cutting-edge automatic controls and temperature sensors, the technology aims to ensure optimal snow conditions for the events.
