Thanks,

Season pass holders are ballers and don't need to reserve.

Day 1 - 4 hero runs skiing before giving up on growing wait times. Killed the time chatting and riding with an enthusiastic skier who turned out to be the English teacher of my god son at St. George's ... small world

Cypress Mountain poutine report.

Only regular poutine is offered. $8.75. It's a big heavy satisfying heap of fries, gravy, and curdled cheese.

The chef didn't know if pulled pork or bacon will be offered this season.

Day 2 - Skied 5 runs before wait times became too agonizing (30 minutes from bottom to top of Eagle chair). Started hard packed then sun eventually softened the snow. Plenty of fresh untracked layer of snow on right side of Wind Jammer.

Nice to see many of the usual suspects. Poutine was good.

Day 3 - Pinched out 3 runs and 1 serving of poutine before leaving at 10:45 to deal with earlier commitments. Nice to have company with Roxstock. Hard pack (Humpty Dumpty, Windjammer and Lower Jasey Jay) under sunny sky. Panorama started softening.
