Depends on the day obviously. Weather changes. Pay attention to the forecast. Its been snowing up there quite a bit, so I'd say if its 8 degrees or lower and raining in the city, you're likely fucked if you aren't an experienced snow/slush driver.

My rule of thumb was 6 degrees for cypress and 10 degrees for whistler.

I went up Blackcomb with Altus Mountain Guides for StokeFest today.
The guides are so so very laid back even in the gnarly conditions. I wish I had even half the confidence Joey Vosburgh and Justin Lamoureux do.

But let me get this straight:
Through the "traditional" progression, you start working up through stiffer boards and stiffer boots. Big mountain col slashers and pro splitboard guides even rock hardboots and wire bindings with near 0- flex.
Now some crazy people come along and claim that the future of snowboarding is by throwing out all the carving power and replacing it with a lazy susan.
Extra bonus: in the setup demo video, they show it off with Sorrel mukluks.

Super nice guy.

Cypress is only open during the day now from 9-4 and closed completely Monday Tuesday which really sucks cuz I usually go after work at night or on Mondays when I'm off. Snow is spring like, its not bad but if you haven't waxed your board in a while, do it before you go.
Anyone been to Seymour lately? Do they still have decent snow or is it half bald like Grouse?

Stunning! Last year was my first ever skiing. Hopefully I can make it out a bunch more times this next year. Now that my hours have vastly changed I can also do cypress night runs too
