Which mountain is the best in your opinions between the three mountains cypress, seymour and grouse? I was meaning to ask this awhile back but got lazy. The reason I ask is because I was thinking of buying a pass. Right now I'm not too sure yet because I'm already going on a 1 week trip to hemlock valley (cant wait).

:drool MOAR SNOWWWWW

Personally, i think Cypress is the best of the three.

we didn't get any yet :( 17 more days til opening day and "Mid-Mountain Snow Depth 20.1 cm / 7.9 in"
fucking bullshit! lol
Last year we opened two weeks early because they got 60 cm of snow in one week

actually this is our report
crystal is the higher of the two. Sunburst is the bubble chair at the bottom that you take if you want to get to the crystal chair. I assume it's snow making

Higher elevations don't always equate to more snow or more snow fall. Its also the weather and the system that moves around it that gives the detail of where and when the snow falls

well listen to you mr. meteorologist :p ;)

Personal report from the locals, seymour and cypress are getting snowed on at this very moment.

Rule of thumb, its a rough 5 degree difference between sea level and the local hills, so if its 5-8 degrees in the city, its most likely snowing on the hills. That is if its not during an inversion. Then its all messed up

Cypress > Grouse > Seymour.

only if you are a social weekend warrior kind of rider.

seymour owns cypress for variable terrain [natural rolling terrain]. However, if you're impatient and don't like to hike and lazy [like me] then cypress is the place for longer runs, faster chairs, and people not wanting to take lessons.

seymour > *
you just gotta know where to go ;)

^ backcountry?

i have a pass to seymour this season, want to make the best of it.

back country,

with the city booter being one of the most photographed natural hits ever in BC

^ ive always wanted to do some back country up there, but was never sure where to start.

OOOH YES PLEASE!

I like the bindings, not so much the cases... Fuck Sun Peaks opens next weekend and their base is like 25cm... My best girlfriends brother died 3 weeks ago so we're going up there tonight as the locals are burning his skis tonight as a sacrifice to Ullr tonight, so let's bring on the snow

Sold all my snowboarding gear, going skiing for the first time ever this winter. Stoked.

Wow those are sooooo sick!

IMHO, i would've kept the snowboard gear as well as getting ski gear.

you'd be surprised as to how you're skills will progress on both if you do both.

NOVEMBER 19th WHISTLER OPENS!!!

Vangruver where did you find those bindings?

^my outfit is basically the same as eric willet in the video. blue/black jacket. yellow pants, but i have a 2010 RIDE DH.
