Anyone been up to Seymour lately? Both chairs still have snow? Or is it looking bare and brown like the Grouse?

nismosx 01-31-2010 01:44 PM

^^^^have u check their website? it says 266cm summit but i doubt it

I was up in big white last weekend and the conditions were great. If you wanna board or ski you need to leave the lower mainland.

Plenty snow, theres only a vary faint brown patch starting to show near the base where the chair is. Other than that, the top and all is fine. Mystery Lake was closed though due to bare patches, so i never got the check that out.

Whistler's condition still very good. But it's packed way more then usual, With all local mountains being garbage or worst right now.

Highly recommend it

anyone drove up to whistler lately ? I wanna go boarding on Saturday, just wondering if there's any Olympic road blocks yet and how the parking is.

You can see the parking lot closures and stuff. You can also tab over to transportation and it will give you details about access to whistler

All the other resorts close at around 3:30pm too, not just Silver Star.

i heard this morning that driving up to whistler is not allowed but they could be talking about next week

LYC 02-01-2010 03:22 PM

there's really limited parking starting feb1. for the few lots that they have for the public i think it was 20 bucks to park. i wouldn't even bother driving honestly.

condition was perfect,

over 10cm of fresh powder and nobody on the runs = joy

hk20000 02-24-2010 07:50 AM

i was up last two nights... besides the fog and scary driving... very nice

00EM1 02-25-2010 09:58 PM

i just got back from Seymour, not a lot of people there and a lot of fresh snow
the only thing that sucks is for night riding there's only one chair open

definitely worth going up tho 4PM to 10PM is $36, or you can get a rest of the season pass for $100

Toeknee 03-09-2010 01:32 PM

Is anyone going to cypress and grouse this weekend? Since it's now supposedly snowing and collecting snow?

Hoping to get a couple more runs in before this season ends

well i wanna go to cypress during the weekdays when i get off work.

But apparently they close at 7pm?!!! major thumbs down from me since they already had to shut down the mountain for 2-3 weeks early in January.

saveth 03-09-2010 07:50 PM

i was in whistler last weekend and the conditions were great. Their should be adequate parking now since the olympics are gone. The only thing too watch out for is the creekside condola. During the olympics they closed it off so if you start the day there or end up on that section of the mountain your screwed. You have to bus it back to the village. I dont know if they are reopening it during the paraolympics but i doubt it.

vitaminG 03-09-2010 08:13 PM

if anyone goes to cypress can they report back on the conditions

G 03-09-2010 08:53 PM

I was at silverstar and the conditions were pretty good, some fog here and there but pretty much empty and having the whole mountain to ourselves!

Someone tell me if Cypress is worth it...I heard its expensive, and they have lots of runs closed and they close early + its packed... doesnt seem worth it IMO

falcon 03-09-2010 08:55 PM

Seymour has pretty wicked conditions considering, right now....

k2_alpha 03-09-2010 09:30 PM

^ condtions are good but the lifts suck major ass monkeys.

The lift takes a good 6 mins for a run that's last 2...
Was up there all day monday.
All I did was work on tightening my turns.
