Looks like Cypress got 8cm overnight. Get there early if you can.

I can't. Gotta take my daughter to rowing this morning :(

Poorly groomed conditions but nice fresh snow on the Sky chair.

Enjoyed by Tony, Francis, Doug and Bob.

It was a good day. Knee high fresh on the "secret run." Enjoyed with Alton, Francis, Doug, Bob, Auriana, George, and many more.

I can even watch videos while I ride.

Wow. I am disgusted and morally insulted. I can't believe people post "those kinds" of videos on the internet. I'm glad you can't watch what I'm viewing.

Tony and Doug - Look what you missed at Cypress today.

Hero groomer conditions improved as sun softened the snow under crystal blue sky. My favorite run was Jasey Jay to Lower Maeller Ricker from 10am onward. Then at noon top of Lions for BBQ hamburgers and refreshments.

Also enjoyed by Rob, Clay, Jerry and Benito.

How many burgers did you eat, and what condiments. We want deets.

Only one burger with ketchup, mustard and Coke. Had to return to work. Benito looked like he was game for 3rds or 4ths.

Rumour has it you scored 3-4 servings last year at Cypress.

Many years ago, I'd have a burger every other lap. Around 6 burgers & hotdogs. Plus chips & fizzy beverages.
