Nice sunny day like today? it' going to be soft and fun till the night falls, then when it gets dark, boom, out comes the hard pack of death.
Lets face it, you got spoiled with big white and whistler. and now you're coming back to local hills that have weather change every hour. Face the facts, unless you're willing to dedicate your season to big resort like hills, be happy with the north shore mountains.

very true! from the first day of learning snowboarding i was treated to whistler conditions. I tried cypress a few times and that actually made me decide to quit snowboarding after i bailed real hard and dislocated my elbow. it is not till someone took me to whistler and big white that i decided to go boarding again.
guess i have to make an effort to travel to enjoy boarding or wait till it snows hard in cypress then its fresh pow.
But i am curious, im sure most of you guys have been to whistler/big white and cypress before. so does that mean when you decide to go to cypress it is because of the convenience, distance, and the mindset of "yea it'll do" rather than because you actually like the mountain?
