Cypress

When it's absolutely too cold

Surprisingly good morning at Cypress today. Clear blue skies and sunshine on the slopes which had very good corduroy for the first hour. They had received a few cm of snow last evening so all of the trees had a nice coating of white. The snow guns were going all morning. :D

The conditions were much better than I was expecting. Basically there was full snow coverage and no rocks. There was a thin layer of artificial powder in places near the snow guns. I'll likely return on Monday morning.

Monday night was sugar snow on top of hardpack. At 7:00, the lift line was about 1 minute long. At 8:00, the wait was zero. Good coverage. No rocks.

Bought myself clear-lens (no tint) goggles from the shop in the lodge. Only $27, cheap!
