Day 19 at Cypress. Pleasantly surprised to find 5 cm of fresh powder over groomed. It continued to snow all day. Clay, Rob, Doug, AltonJR and I got first tracks on Lions. Chased first tracks all morning everywhere (Horizon, the lower bypass, Benny's, Crazy Raven, Sky Chair and Humpty Dumpty). What an amazing day!

I don't know what mountain you guys ski , powder was from 20 to 90cm in trees , I came late ,1230 because a stupid date thing.i stayed till 1930, that's how good backcountry and trees are. I say it was my best powder day this season since I had it pretty well all to myself,no chair long wait,and the powder was PERFECT,not too soft ,not too hard, great speed and slashing , my god, im already sad that april is coming and I have to go kiteboarding full time, backcountry downhill is like surfing without the crowd and A LOT OF TURNS!!!!! im stoke, my best season ever and im getting so much better with my new board. CYPRESS RULES!
sorry , I would have report at 1 pm about powder but my phone die. I also think no to report powder anymore as I am a greedy snowboarder and I want it all to myself...O YEAH!
Sky chair is officially BANDITO private chair as next year I am buying that part of the mountain and will only invite people I like ha ha

Day 20 at Cypress. Fun day with LeopardSkin/Tony, Chris, Clay, Rob, JM, Jerry, Bob. Groomed runs great for grippy turns. Ungroomed runs down Olympic and Shoreline (top of Benny's). Stayed on Raven chair to avoid crowds on Lions. Very civilized (8:40 to 11:30am) and sunny :D

Had a fantastic day at cypress with my wife and a bunch of friends. Good snow, sunshine with a few chairlift beers and whiskeys, what better way to celebrate your birthday.

Potatoe Head came snowboarding with me but too much powder and vertical, next thing you know I cant see him. Look for a while, but he know the deal: don't follow me in powder and no friends on powder days! So maybe he will make is way back, if not, in spring we will see him again, unfrozen and very bake!

ha ha, I was hiding behind my car of the road illegally parked at cypress while n employee gave shit to someone 5 car ahead . When he left I try to open trunk to finish dressing .F@#K, I locked My jacket, keys n ski pass inside!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I left my front window open 2 inches I went to get a coat hanger to open door. after 40 min trying to pull the lock button I realized I can push it easier! 40 seconds later I got it open. Got Second Chair run at Sky, uhhh ,I meant Bandito Chair, another super great day.
