dont even waste your time. i wouldnt go back even if they only charged me $35 because of shitty conditions. Posted via RS Mobile | 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?

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.

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.

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

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  | |

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 ) Posted via RS Mobile | |

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.
