Family Day Weekend at Cypress
In 2024 Family Day was on Monday, February 19th. Next year, the holiday is on Febriuary 17th. All sorts of family-friendly activities take place throughout the weekend across the Lower Mainland during this public holiday.
Over the Family Day long weekend, some (but not all) ski hills in the region usually offer some kind of special deal, including free or discounted ski and other snow sport passes.
Cypress Mountain has offered ticket discounts on the Family Day long weekend for children in the past, but at the time of writing this, it wasn’t clear if the resort would be doing the same in 2024.
Cypress Family Day Deal
In previous years, Cypress Mountain offered an assortment of special family-friendly activities as well as discounted passes for children on the Family Day long weekend.
Skiing, snowshoeing and tubing tickets at Cypress were 50% off for children on the Friday evening and all day on the Saturday, Sunday and holiday Monday of the February long weekend. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case since 2019.
In 2024, there were still special activities for all ages over the long weekend. There were fireworks on the Sunday night, as well as live entertainment, games and more on all three days.
