proposed Cypress Mountain Ski Resort Development Plan (SRDP). Cypress Mountain Resort is a year-round recreation destination within Cypress Provincial Park, offering a range of activities and visitor facilities that support both resort-based recreation and access to the surrounding park. The plan would guide future resort development, facility upgrades, and year-round recreation opportunities at Cypress Mountain Resort within Cypress Provincial Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Cypress Mountain has developed a proposed SRDP document including maps which are available on the Cypress Mountain website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cypressmountain.com\/srdp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Visit the project website<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"proposals\">Plan proposals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed Ski Resort Development Plan outlines a sixty-year vision for Cypress Mountain Resort.
