Cypress Silver eXtra and other Ski Pass Special Deals
If you want to ski regularly at Cypress the best deal, arguably, is to get a Silver eXtra Season Pass. They come available around mid-February each year. Other great options include the regular Silver and Cypress Gold passes. Below we describe the benefits of each, plus additional options you can purchase with them.
(Note: Cypress ski pass details are subject to change and certain restrictions apply. The details described below are accurate to the best of our knowledge. Check the official Cypress Mountain website though for exact information.)
Cypress Silver eXtra Pass
The Silver eXtra Season Pass is more or less Cypress Mountain’s equivalent of Grouse Mountain’s Y2Play Pass. Both offer Vancouver skiers valuable savings. Most years they also include access to their respective ski hills during the last few weeks of one season in addition to all of the following year’s ski season too.
(Note: The Silver eXtra Pass is different from Cypress Mountain’s regular Silver Pass which is described further below. To learn about the Regular Silver Pass instead, scroll down a bit or click Regular Silver Passes.)
Silver eXtra Pass BENEFITS
Benefits of having the Silver eXtra Pass for 2026/27 include unlimited skiing and snowboarding every day except for the week of December 26th, 2026, to January 3rd, 2027 (when it’s usually crazy crowded anyway).
New for 2026, the Silver eXtra Pass includes a 50% discount for two friends or family members ages 13 and up.
One more benefit for Silver eXtra passholders is the ability to pay an additional fee to get access to Cypress Mountain’s cross-country ski trails, tubing runs, snowshoeing terrain and the Lights to the Lodge snowshoe trail for the full season. The extra fee is just $79 (which, for that price, is a great deal)!
Lastly, Silver eXtra passholders receive 50% off at any Boyne Resorts, including Loon Mountain, Big Sky and more. They also get a 15% discount at Big Bear Sports and at the Cypress Downhill Repair Shop for repairs, tuning and more.
In 2026 Y2Play Passes for adults cost $399 for existing Grouse Mountain passholders and $489 for new purchasers. New passes for seniors start at $229 and for children they cost between just $49 and $149. To learn more see our article about the Y2Play Pass.
2026 Silver eXtra Pass RATES
Below are the initial rates for the 2026/27 Silver eXtra Passes as of early March (exclusive of taxes). Prices are subject to change. To learn about the Regular Silver Pass instead, click Regular Silver Passes.
- Adults (ages 26 to 64) – $659
- Young Adult (ages 18 to 25) – $469
- Youth (ages 13 to 17) – $389
- Seniors (ages 65+) – $405
- Children (ages 6 to 12) – $119

Age Category Definitions
Age categories are as of November 1st. In other words, if your child is 5 in February but turns 6 in the summer you have to pay the higher “children’s” rate. If your child doesn’t turn 6 until early November or later, however, and you purchase his or her pass prior to November 1st, you can pay the cheaper rate for 5-year-olds. With passes bought after November 1st, though, a person’s current age at the time of purchase applies.)
Cypress Regular Silver & Gold Passes
In addition to the limited-time sale of Silver eXtra Passes, Cypress also offers regular Silver Passes as well as Gold and Cross-Country Ski Passes at around the same time.
Regular Silver Passes
People can buy regular Silver Passes for the 2026/27 season.
The regular Silver Pass is similar to Cypress Mountain’s Silver eXtra Pass but with fewer extra benefits and more restrictions. They also cost less.
The regular Silver Pass comes with the option to pay just $79 extra for unlimited cross-country skiing, tubing and snowshoeing at Cypress. A significant drawback of the regular Silver Pass, when compared to the Silver eXtra Pass, is the additional blackout period of every weekend in January and February.
The above restriction means that if you want to ski on Saturdays or Sundays during the first two months of the new year, in addition to during the week immediately after Christmas, with the regular Silver Pass you have to pay extra. You have to buy yourself day lift tickets. For many people though, it’s worth the inconvenience (especially for folk who can ski on weekdays).
Regular Silver Pass Rates
Prices for the Silver Passes as of early March 2026 are below. Exact rates are subject to change.
- Adults (ages 26 to 64) – $435
- Young Adults (ages 18 to 25) – $335
- Youth (ages 13 to 17) – $265
- Seniors (ages 65+) – $275
- Children (ages 6 to 12) – $89
- Little Folk (ages 0 to 5) – $55
Cypress Gold Season Passes
Gold Passes allow ticket holders to ski and snowboard for one full season at Cypress with no restrictions. It’s like a regular season’s pass, but cheaper than if you pay for it in the fall or at other times in the season.
For comparison, with the Silver Pass you pay less but then can’t ski for free during peak times between Christmas and the end of February. If you want to ski during the blackout periods you have to buy discounted day tickets. With the Gold Pass, on the other hand, you pay a higher price but can ski whenever you want.
New perks included with the Cypress Gold Pass this year are unlimited tubing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. It also comes with an IKON Session Pass which means passholders can get three free days at a number of resorts, as well as 50% off for additional days.
Prices for the 2026/27 Cypress Gold Pass from early March in 2026 are the following. Exact details are subject to change.
- Adults (ages 26 to 64) – $719
- Young Adult (ages 18 to 25) – $519
- Youth (ages 13 to 17) – $419
- Seniors (ages 65+) – $429
- Children (ages 6 to 12) – $179
- Little Folk (ages 0 to 5) – $55
Cypress Cross-Country Season Passes
In addition to the various downhill pass specials, Cypress also offers cross-country ski passes for the following season.
Cross-country passes for the 2026/27 season cost the following in early March 2026.
- Adults (ages 26 to 64) – $355
- Young Adults (ages 18 to 25) – $325
- Youth (ages 13 to 17) – $209
- Seniors (ages 65+) – $225
- Children (ages 6 to 12) – $155
- Little Folk (ages 0 to 5) – $39
Also, for an additional fee, passholders can get a “Nordic Plus” membership where they also get unlimited access to Cypress Mountain’s tubing and snowshoeing trails for the full season. In 2026 the cost for the “Nordic Plus” benefit is $59.
Spring Season & Beach Passes
In addition to the Regular Silver and Gold Passes, new passholders of all ages can usually pay and get to ski for the remainder of the current season.
In 2026 the Beach Pass allows passholders to ski from March 5th until the end of the spring season. It costs about $229 for adults, $219 for young adults, and $199 for youth and seniors.
Cypress Pass Protection
In addition to the various passes and optional “add-ons”, skiers can also purchase Pass Protection when they buy their season passes. For $59 you get a pro-rated insurance policy that protects the value of your purchase should there not be at least 76 days of operation next season.
The way Pass Protection works, basically, is for each day less than 76 that Cypress is open, Cypress will put 1% of the price of your ski pass towards a pass for the following season.
