Guía de Estación de Esquí Cypress Mountain

I'm trying out Cypress with a new Beach Pass although it's 20 minutes more driving than Grouse Mountain. I found the parking situation for pass holders here is not as friendly as other two local mountains. It's understandable to make money from parking; but it should be fair to the pass holders who commit and have been granted free parking to the lots as long as they are available. The thing here is that the parking areas closest to the lifts are either "Premium" or "Authorized" that are not for pass holders with "free parking" to park, regardless if they are empty or not. Only Cypress does this. Quite often those "Premium" or "Authorized" areas are at least half empty. It is wasteful of space, and time. It doesn't give a good feel when you have to park far away and then walk by those lots with plenty of empty spots right there closer to the lifts. Only Cypress is like this. I couldn't believe it from my first visit, still don't like it.
