heres what i found on the website:

"To preserve and protect the integrity of the Snowboarding and Freestyle Skiing courses at Cypress Mountain for the 2010 Winter Games, the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (VANOC) and Cypress Mountain have agreed to close the Alpine Ski Area to the public.

This difficult decision to close the Alpine Area to the public two and a half weeks earlier than planned follows days of unseasonably warm and wet weather in the Vancouver area. The course building crews are now actively working to preserve snow on ski trails which could be needed to supplement the snow on the courses"

even if there is security they are there
to keep people off the mountain not the
road, they could probably care less about
a few skaters taking advantage of the fact
that no one is driving up there. the worst
that could happen is you get there and
they tell you to leave
