I was thinking about this one since I saw it few years back as well.
And for the wind pack natural kicker, my HK friends loved it so much that they spent two hours on it one time. Just keep hike back up one after another.
True that Cypress is as expensive, $39 + tax for night skiing that what I spent last night.
Cypress @ Feb 29th night
* 35cm overnight made the powder call but unfortunately could only go after work
* Sky chair wasn't open until 6:35 (perfect timing) but it was jam with people
* untouch powder disappeared in 15 mins

You'd need an edge card for Whisler. We have a 5-day one; works out to be under $68 per day.
Whistler doesn't do night, but it starts early. Last week, we were on lifts by 9:00 AM, and ended when the last chair ended. Ate breakfast in the car (McD), and no real lunch (ate something quick during washroom break). That could give you a good 7-8-hr ski if you really want to~
Whistler 10-days Edge card is $62/per day (and have a bonus day before X'mas). Of course, after you add gas and other things, Whistler is more expensive but not by a lot.
Once you advance more in your snowboarding, you will understand why people prefer going to Whistler even they have to pay more, wake up earlier, drive longer, etc, etc. That $20 difference is nothing.
if you consider that you'll waste a day anyways, which almost everyone's work day is worth over 3 figure, then it's much better to have that day spent at Whistler than Cypress. $20 difference is nothing when your investment including time is multi hundred dollars.
