I think that the difference is that he used Cypress' lift system to access the back country. Cypress is a private company and when you buy your lift ticket you are agreeing to their terms one of which is likely that you are not to leave the ski area boundary and if you do you are liable for the recovery costs.
Someone who skins up a mountain in the back country agreed to no such terms and there is a rescue system in place to help if they get in trouble.
