According to the Cypress website, an online ticket for Saturday is $105!! What a bargain. Ski on Easy Rider - the slowest chair in the world servicing the smallest vertical drop in the world, half covered with about 10 CM of grey snow and the occasional rock. :shock:

Day 11 - Nice snowboarding session without LeopardSkin. After 9 days of gluttony and sloth, it was great to finally lay down some trenches. Only 1 lane open (Upper fork to Lower Panorama).

Day 12 - A meh snowboarding session with firm groomers but worst of all uncomfortably littered by newbies and kids.

It was great to be out on the fat skis this morning. According to the Cypress website they had 30 CM of snow in the last 24 hours. Got in three laps on Upper Jasey Jay and Cascade before it was skied out then did some cruising on Panorama and Windjammer. Blue skies and sunshine above the clouds over the city. No significant line-ups until about 9:45 AM. Got in some more great turns in the fresh snow on my favourite exit run.

Day 13 - A sh*t morning snowboarding with LeopardSkin. Weekend crowds. Electricity out ... running on generators ... then Eagle chair breaks down after 1 run ... forcing everyone onto the Lions chair where the only choices were Humpty Dumpty or Collins. 5 runs in 2 hours then called it a day.

Coverage is excellent. No rocks. Not even a grain of sand. Hero corduroy. Winter is here.

Day 14 - Sweet morning of 10+ cm of fresh with plenty of stashes to be had. Got one run on Fork then moved over to Lions to enjoy Humpty Dumpty, Horizontal, Cat Track and Collins. My favorite was poaching Hutch with LeopardSkin. Nice to see Clay and Brian today.

This morning's snow experience is rated "3." There were only 3 cars in the ditch :lol:

Dry fluffy freshies. Hero Doug-Style mini-pow. The snow guns were firing too. Great way to start the week!
