Cypress Mountain 2020/ 2021
One of the regulars said that he found out that Cypress has apparently sold about 35,000 passes this season. He didn't say how many passes they would typically sell in a year but I presume it would be significantly less. Cypress was promoting the season passes as a way for people to avoid buying a day ticket which would require making a reservation. I am certainly grateful that Cypress is not requiring people with season's passes to make a reservation to go skiing (like Grouse and Seymour) but the size of the crowds during the week (if there is powder or sunshine) has been something new - like a number of things in this COVID year.

From the few people I know who ski, many of them seem to have more flexible schedules during Covid because their work has shifted online. So they can work around skiing. All of them stated that their respective companies will adopt the online format even when Covid is over. Maybe midweek skiing will be changed forever.

Some nice turns at Cypress this morning. About 5 CM showing on the snow stake cam at 6:15 AM and probably 10 CM on the ground by mid morning. Almost all of the regulars were there.

Couldn’t make the opening session today so Mokka and I went up right after lunch. Easy parking at the far end of the lot. Skied right onto the Raven Chair and stayed there until it closed. Meteor was in awesome shape and Sunrise was nearly as good. Eventually went to Eagle and scored a couple really good runs in the chutes under the chair, then called it when the lineup started growing around 330.
Great consolation round!
