snowy and limited vis.

if you got fog lamps go up.

if you got xray vision go up.

if you just feel like snowboarding go up

Argh going stir crazy maybe i'll just take a trip out to hemlock instead. Since u like ice... ever tried riding a glacier?

Best conditions ever. I love being blanketed in with fog and snow. It's that or Bluebird. Everything else is mediocre to me.

Edit: So far we got 2, maybe 3 for Cypress on the 19th it seems?

I'll be there. Most likely, unless there's an event or another gathering at another mountain.

Right now is the prime time for filming and contests, as a lot of distro companies are holding events for giving away a lot of sh!t.

BUT yeah i'll most likely be up there. Just have to check my calender

I'm definately going up there today....

k well i'll bbm you when we get into town fri if i haven't heard from you by then

hey guys sorry if i'm posting in the wrong section. basically last sat our company took us to whistler for a snowboard/ski trip. my co-worker taught me how to snowbaord kinda. right now i have abt 4 hrs of experience at most and wa sable to go do the green run before the place closed down. was wondering if there's any places here where they have a magic carpet like the one in blackcomb where i can jus go up and learn and not have to buy a pass. also my friend wants to rent a board and learn as well. gladly appreciate any help thanx

Going Seymour tomorrow. They are opening up the Monster sponsored park!

I'll prolly be up, there's a mega NLA jam supposedly going down tomorrow as well, the pics from the build look gnarley!

Was up there today, zomggg major epic. Just enough fog and snow to scare away a lot of ppl, but still easy to see with goggles on. Awesome snow, saw the cat drag an old van up the run and then they turned it into a jump for tmrs, monster park opening. No line ups at the lifts, best day of the season for me.

fuackkk wish i didnt have work

Yeah! Was at Cypress today. Things started to clear up in the later afternoon to evening. Epic pow off the sky lift. The mountain was dead. Such an awesome day!!!

omg lol dude it was the exact same today!

went up when it was hailing, and the hail turned into snow. alot of people left by 4pm so stayed up til 830 on fresh pow.. especially on the off course runs such great pow, no waits.

only bad thing was the visibility but it was only really bad for a little while!

Just got back from cypress, was an alright day. wettish powder snowing and super foggy sometimes but then they opened sky chair and the snow was fantastic up there! untouched dry powder and not many ppl.

thanks but i did try to search a bit and found that grousse would be the best for learning as far as facility and cost. please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

none in the city.

however the benefits behind learning on the north shore mountains are the operational hours [at the moment] Which are generally from 0900 to 2200 hours.

If you consider the cost benefit behind it, it's cheaper than whistler. You can learn on an area that's focused on consistency [seymours rope tow area, cypress's eazy rider quad chair, grouses rope tow area] then take your skills towards other areas of the hill.

The learning curve on a snowboard is steep, meaning you will feel you can get the hang of it quickly, that is if you're determined, however if you want to progress, the patience and the skill is necessary.

It's a never ending learning sport, but it's worth the effort to gain that reward.

w00t got my bindings fixed and am itching to go. Wanting to try night-boarding during the weekday, but am afraid that traffic going into DT and over Lions Gate will be a clusterf*ck after work hours 5-7pm.

aw damn, might have to go tmr, haha

holy weather has be like shitz..

only used my seymour spring pass once!

Anyone up at Cypress today?

Damnit...i've been itching to go. Last week's plan didn't pan out.

Today's plan didn't pan out.

Anyone interested in carpooling tom?

Note: beginner!!

i might head up for a few hours later this afternoon.

Any good sales going on lately... beside
