Cypress Mountain
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I spent some time working with Codeception/Selenium with PHP, but in the past few years I adopted the modern stack (Cypress/Playwright).
- We use cypress for testing. It's pretty solid. You just need to learn a little bit the "cypress way" of doing things
- stub the provider response (Cypress has great patterns for this) you’re testing *your* app, not Google’s login UX
- of the four, cypress would definitely be my pick. but also, vancouver is a hugely more expensive place to live than any of the other three.
- There’s a bunch of courses that I’d love to see the pros play every year…Bandon, Cypress, Seminole, Chambers Bay.
Cons
- The ski hill is nothing to write home about and is busier since its located in the main metro area of BC.
- Don’t pick Cypress if skiing is why you wanna go. Pick Cypress because it’s a pretty cool spot especially for night game but so you can spend your days not working in and around Vancouver or jet up to Whistler for the day.
- Cypress is cool if you can find housing in Vancouver because you can escape the mountain and do city stuff too. The mountain itself isn’t anything to write home about, but they have night skiing so you can ski til 9:30 after your shift i...
- I work at Cypress, but not FOR Cypress - however, I've heard some horror stories about staff treatment from management there. The resort is owned by an American conglomerate and it shows. Also they pay like shit and you'd have to deal wi...
- Unfortunately, in my 9-5 job, we're using cypress that doesn't have built-in screenshot capability with regression tests like playwright

Cypress is cool if you can find housing in Vancouver because you can escape the mountain and do city stuff too. The mountain itself isn’t anything to write home about, but they have night skiing so you can ski til 9:30 after your shift is done which can be nice. Downside is it’s close to Vancouver and is chaotically busy during weekends and holidays.

I work at Cypress, but not FOR Cypress - however, I've heard some horror stories about staff treatment from management there. The resort is owned by an American conglomerate and it shows. Also they pay like shit and you'd have to deal with the COL of Vancouver. So my advice is anything but Cypress lol
