I might be moving to Langley, BC for school next year and I was just curious about which resorts are the closet and some information about them. Any information would be great. Thanks.

Manning is closer to Langley that Cypress, Seymour and Grouse. And Baker is closer to Langley than Whis is. Weekend traffic can be a bitch out there on the no. 1.

Baker. Definitly go to Baker.
Manning will not satisfy you, not in the slightest.

get the 4x4 pass and ski at whistler. ITs your cheapest and best option. Baker is good too, but dealing with the border is a huge pain in the ass; sometimes out of nowhere its an extra 1-1.5 hours on your trip. I don't think manning is closer than the vancouver locals. From Langley, Manning is about 1.5-2 hours where as grouse would probably be 45 minutes to an hour. But the locals are very limited and have a horrible vibe at them, especially Grouse!

Grouse is skiing with groomers and an ok park when they get around to making it. It is full people and tourists who suck though(its got a cheap pass though). Seymour is small as shit(grouse is small too) but has better park and dope backcounty. It is a toss up but the lines and people at grouse are as anoying as shit.

Seymour's sweeet it's the cheapest and closest to Vancouver.. kinda far for you, but it's park destroys Cypress and Grouse. If you want to Terrain hit Cypress, if ur a park bunny then hit Seymour.

cypress is the same price as grouse(which is bullshit unless you got a pass) and seymour's slightly cheaper. It's the least overpriced for what they have.
