I wax, tune, and repair all my gear at home. You would be shocked at how fast you can go by simply using high quality temperature graded wax instead of the universal wax that many shops use for basic waxing. I get a kick out passing skiers on cat tracks at Whistler because of superior wax.
If you have the space, think about waxing your own gear. A homemade jig, a waxing iron, and a brush will last basically forever. A block of Swix CH10 (good North Shore wax) and a $3 scraper will last for a couple seasons.
How long is "not very long" to you?

Cypress is a bit weird. There can be cars backed up on the highway for an hour but there will be super short waits for lifts. Even on the weekend. I don't know where the people are. Are they all in the restaurant and rental shop? Are they all driving up alone?
But yes. Weekdays are definitely less busy. But if you own your own gear and head up at 8:30 am, there is no bad day to go.
