Best Vancouver Ski Area?

I am new to BC and a little bit stuck in Vancouver for the winter. I want to get a pass to one of the North Shore ski areas. Which one is best?

1) Cypress
2) Grouse
3) Mt. Seymour

I really enjoy a well rounded ski area, I like skiing pipe and trees first, park and moguls too, and I wouldn't mind some powder when it is available. Also, vibe is important to me, though I am resigned to the fact that I will be skiing with a crazy troop of city people.
My dream ski area would be a Brighton-type place with a great pipe.
What do people recommend?

And please refrain from overly negative comments about skiing on the North Shore. It is what I have for the time being, so just give me your opinion on which one is best and leave stupid negative comments at home. I searched the forum history and there isn't much on this, so it would be nice to have a solid thread about the pros and cons.

Thanks.

if you have the option go to whistler, its an hour and half away.

Grouse is the only one where the city bus goes directly to, and its an ok hill.

Seymore is proably the best hill for park. But you need a car or take the shuttle.

Cypress,

I hate that hill, however it has the most vertical out oif the 3 Van hill. ANd I have heard they're making a pipe and stepping things up to prepare for the olympics (but j ust a rumour not set in stone.)
