200-proof Double-M pow was in excellent shape. Classic dry mid-winter groomers. What a testament to the snowmaking technology.

Full blast including Panorama (still closed). Rumour has it that snow guns only have enough water for 1 more day so Tuesday maybe the last day of fresh double-M.

Day 9 - Nice crunchy corduroy conditions skiing with Jerry, Clay, Allan and Rob (snowboarding). Due to temperature inversion, Cypress turned off the snow machines last night. Even though there's still enough water, warm temperatures will likely prevent snow machines from completely filling in Panorama.

Day 10 - Snowboarding in supreme grippy corduroy conditions and hardly anyone is here. Panorama is open and nicely groomed - perfect for riding switch. Even after 1.5 hrs there's still plenty of untouched corduroy :D
