If the torrential rain holds off, it might be an epic morning

Great morning at Cypress! About 20-25 CM of new snow. A fair amount of density in the snow but very sweet on the fat skis. Was the first one down Crazy Raven and about the fifth one down Olympic. One of the first down Slash which was superb. It snowed for much of the morning then turned to rain around 11:30.

Day 53 - Epic workout. Knee deep heavy snow ... so had to earn my turns. Called it a day at 11am when snow got wet.

Eagle and Lions opened around 8:45 AM. Excellent grooming in some areas like upper Fork, and pretty good in others. The only bad run was Humpty which was an ungroomed mess of frozen ruts and bumps. :shock:

Day 55 - Delayed my arrival by an hour allowing the snow to soften. Great 1.5 hr workout riding the moguls.

Day 56 - Fun spring session. Went cruising on the groomers for an hour before Jasey Jay softened up enough for the perfect mogul workout.

How many Red Bulls did you have today? :lol:

3 hours of morning riding with the crew was a nice warmup for the main event.

The Red Bull Homerun race was today. I entered. There were a couple of hundred competitors. There was 1 event, and 1 heat. Chaotic fun :D

The Red Bulls were scrumptious.
