Yesterday afternoon was my first trip to Cypress in over 20 years I think. Traffic basically came to a slow crawl before the first parking lot at 2pm as we watched a stream of cars come down the mountain. Maybe 45 minutes later we were moving normal again. I don't know what the hold up was. A friend ahead of me later told me that some kid working traffic seemed to stop and chat with every car. The first lots had signs saying the upper parking lots were full but no one was pulling into them. I did but my daughter insisted we drive further up (no one is driving back down into the lots dad). Eventually we got to the top lots where there was a lot of open spaces. Its all a bit of a head scratcher to me, I think there could have been a lot more communication for drivers. That would have sucked to get to the top only to crawl back down.
Line ups were long. Maybe 15/20 min? Not sure. I started getting really cold by 6:30. We went in for burgers and poutine and then back on the hill at 7:30. I took off by myself while my daughter skied with a friend. It now took me only a few minutes in line up's and no waiting on thr runs down. Stayed nice and warm because I was no longer standing around. Ripped around for the next 1.5hrs, hit the bumps and came in. Good times.
