Grouse's park is shit, and cypress park doesn't exist. I would save your money you'd spend on a whistler student pass and go ride 10 days at baker for that price. It will change the way you see the mountain. If I'm riding city shit I likely wont leave the park, but if there is real terrain, searching for snow is a lot more interesting.

I pay and ride the HL park a couple times a season, I'm not as crazy as the guys that are normally in there but its good fun.
Grouse's park has been better in recent years, the jump line is the best on the north shore for 40'+ jumps.
Cypress had a good setup last year, after all the season ticket holders complained heavily over their shitty park setup over the couple seasons before that (this is why they moved it from slow tiny chair). I am hoping they can continue the improvements this year.
I honestly have a distaste for seymour, but its fine as a mountain.
I used to work at cypress for about 5 years, and during that time period I visited like every moutain in BC and washington, even went out east and rode in utah (brighton was awesome). Baker was really good, but if you know whistler as well as I do, there really is nothing like it.
