Day 16 - Nice groomer session and bluebird day at sunny Cypress (well above the Vancouver cloud and fog). It was terribly hard pack so I quickly switched from snowboard to skis - so much better. Best run was Panaroma - smooth and slowly (very slowy) started to soften towards noon. Fun day with Jerry and Clay.

Spent 2 hours at cypress this afternoon and the conditions weren't the best. Snow is getting thing and patchy in some areas. There was enough to keep me entertained for 8 runs but that was about it. They are in need of some new snow soon.

Hope 2015 is off to a bang back in BC! Over here in Africa, I scored some Namibian powder! Fresh tracks all day. No lift lines (as there were no lifts), and 40 degrees.
No luck with wind in Cape Town last week when I was there for two days... The NE wind was light, and the usual SE wasn't going to show up in time... I won't have any opportunities to chase when I'm back there on the 19th -21st as diving with great whites is taking precedence on my schedule
Also checked jumping out of a plane from the bucket list today. Any adrenaline rush I've had in the past pales in comparison
See you guys in Feb. I'm trying to get the Himba people to teach me the secrets to their wind and rain dances
