This morning's vid at Cypress

Hey Tony - this is the Ryan Knapton video I'm learning the revert carve from ... still trying to figure out how to keep my chest closer to the ground - instead of standing upright

Revert carves at 3:08. But you should start at 0:00 for background info.



I managed to pinch out a couple of tripods this morning.

I watched this Malcolm Moore video last year. I forgot about "slam the door shut" ... and gotta work on the hand drag

Next time maybe I'll try it. I'm good at pinching things out ... especially in the morning

Day 8 - Great snowboarding session without LeopardSkin. 2 cm of fresh on skiers right all to myself. Only Upper Fork and Lower Jasey Jay were open today. Tons of turns for 1.5 hours.

Day 9 - Better than expected. Mighty fine morning snowboarding with LeopardSkin and Patrick. Hit the spot for tons of turns in decent groomers. Both Fork and Panorama/Windjammer were open today.

I felt guilty leaving you all alone on Day 8, so I had to show up for Day 9.

Day 10 - Scored a Xmas snowboarding session over hero groomers with LeopardSkin. Wait times were minimal to civilized. Great way to burn off Xmas turkey by laying down trenches.

It was hero carving. We dug plenty of deep trenches into the corduroy. Little kiddo elves fell into our trenches and wiped out . They must have been naughty all year

After carving up the whole side of the resort, I went to the jib park to work on presses & tripods.

One board did it all. 2022 Burton Kilroy 3D Camber 150 park board, 2022 Burton Malavita freestyle bindings duck stance 15° 15°.

The lunch special was beef tenderloin, Cypress Mountain house cab, truffle salad, triple-layer chocolate macaroon cake, finishing with the Cypress Mountain west-coast brandy and Cypress Mountain cuban-blend cigars. Yum!
