wow, what a shitshow with all the olympic preps construction and lack of snow. almost all runs has bald spots except for the humpty dumpty.

Ive been a few times this season, it wasnt that bad. Still enjoyable.

But how was the weather like? Raining?

I saw on the Grouse website that they have that After Hours Pass during the Olympics for $150. It gets you an unlimited pass between the hours of 8pm to 6am, since Grouse is open 24/7 during this time. Seems like a pretty good deal imo. Anyone else purchase one?

it was raining really hard.

within 1 hour, i'm soaked already. the conditions are worse than slushy, think mud and slurpee mixed together and you are riding on it.

i don't know how cypress is going to pull a good show for the olympics. it looks like shit as of yesterday still.

TRDood 01-09-2010 04:24 PM

oh, and on the way there, i saw the raven's side where all the black runs were. it was all grass and gravel. half of the mountain seems like the lower half of whistler when you go skiing in mid May.

Let's set this up. Like I said, an RS meet on a local mountain would be fantastic.

Next two weeks, maybe another one during the Olympic midnight madness at Grouse?

matrixfwd 01-09-2010 05:45 PM

let's pray for snow folks. It won't be good if the conditions stay the same or get warmer for the Olympics.... You know that you all want to also take advantage of our installed snow tires :)

albert116 01-09-2010 06:37 PM

anyone hit up Grouse / Seymour lately?

how's the conditions on those 2 mountains compared to Cypress?

TOS'd 01-09-2010 08:40 PM

just came back from cypress. was clear/misty for the most part. sky chair to the top was pretty good.

but then there was a brief period oh rain fall. then it cleared up and was just foggy.

almost landed on a couple of ppl though. was going for a jump but last second i saw 2 ppl sitting waiting for their friends. they were right where i would have landed. fucking fobs ( they really were lol )

Of course its going to suck if its raining, it would be crappy on all the other mountains that are raining as well. You just happened to have gone the wrong day. Did you check the weather before heading up?

There should be new snow by the end of this week http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts...ntain/6day/mid going to head up over the weekend.

it was a bit icy, but it wasnt packed hard. still ride able.

only thing i dont like about the top is the run is a bit short.

woob 01-10-2010 11:22 AM

kitsune 01-11-2010 09:12 PM
