Bindings switched to rock board. Who up for Saturday fresh tracks?

So encouraged by today's conditions, I'm in for Saturday. I'll be snowboarding instead of skiing.

Lift opens at 9am so be there 8:15am to line up for first chair. I hope more runs will be open on the weekend ... but the website says just Colins and Sky Chair.

@Roxstock - you can switch your bindings back. No need for a rock board. I'm easy to spot. I always wear a bright red jacket.

Hey Doug! What was the lunch special???

[Alton]

Cypress got 10cm. Mix of snow and rain. Hopefully more snow than rain.

Cypress parking lot OSR. Dumping tons of liquid snow. Lots of parking still available. Come on out!

[LeopardSkin]

Web site says closed due to too much liquid snow. But snow phone says open. Hmm...

[LeopardSkin]

Just been told the hill is open! Liquid snow is the best.

[Alton]

Raining in parking lot but parking attendant says its snowing half way up the mountain.

Dumping snow at Whistler. 30 cm new but mobbed

[Brian C]

Crowds died down by lunchtime at Whistler today. Most people's early-season legs were probably dead from all the DEEP snow. Incredible coverage for this time of year. They should be able to open a lot more terrain as soon as they get a break in the storms to catch up on avalanche control.
Well worth the trip already if you have an Edge card bonus day to use
