This venue held the Freestyle skiing and Snowboard events. It was the most problematic of all the sites for the Vancouver Olympic Committee because of a lack of snow but all events were eventually staged after much work and snow being trucked here.

Cypress Mountain held 6 Freestyle Skiing events, Mens and Ladies Moguls, Aerials, and Ski Cross along with 6 Snowboard events, Snowboard Cross, Halfpipe, and Parallel Giant Slalom. Again both Men and Ladies.

This venue holds some special meaning for Canadian Olympic fans as this was the site of the first gold medal win for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Alexandre Bilodeau won the Gold medal on Feb. 14, 2010 for Mens Moguls.
