Wow what a experience today @ cypress

Heavy winds
Heavy snow
Foggy

Stuck cars everywhere @ parking lot
White out conditions driving down

[westopher]

The roads sounded crazy today. Sea to sky was closed indefinitely tonight!

[rexsomnii]

TOS'd and Celica, you guys okay after I left ?

[saucywoman]

Oh man I bet tomorrow is gonna be amazeballs!
Posted via RS Mobile

[TOS'd]

I left first, took awhile getting down because of the conditions. Saw some ppl stuck in the lot as well.

[celica-g5]

TOS'd and Celica, you guys okay after I left ?

Yeah, no problem getting out with snow tires. :D

Saw a tonne of people stuck in the parking lot though.

[lowda9]

i was at whistler on sunday. it was awesome! driving back was no problem, subaru and snow tires =]

[westopher]

Seymour today was fucking incredible. Rooster tail pow all morning.

I'll be going to cypress tonight for night boarding. Should be a fun drive up and down the mountain.

Took 4 hours to come down yesterday...

Baker was all time today! Double overhead pow slashes all day long!

[saveth]

Cypress was pretty epic today also. Probably the best conditions so far for that mountain. The only thing that was ridiculous was the amount of people on Collins At 530. My first run of the day consisted of me weaving through pylons, which was pretty fun. My second run of the day was on slash which is the steepest run on cypress and it had knee high powder from top to bottom.

Ridiculous conditions right now!

[Gh0stRider]

anyone going up to cypress on thursday?

[lowda9]

just got back from cypress. It was good but really wet snow and was starting to rain/snow mix.

[will068]

Yeah, that was weird, sticky snow, rain, wet snow. I prefer the conditions on from Thursday and Friday Night. Perhaps I hyped myself too much.

[XplicitLuder]

Anyone going up anytime soon? Or not worth now? I've got to go at least once this season! Lol
Posted via RS Mobile

[saucywoman]

Yesterday was amazing! I started off the day with just my tanktop under jacket and was warm. The snow was a mix of great spring conditions but had some icy patches til the sun hit it. Was stopped on a run off to the side and had some guy spray snow at me, went down my tank and got my inside pocket which had my phone in :| it was refreshing but still... Lol

We left at 2 as my friend had an appointment and she was my ride. Kinda wish i had kept riding but I didn't think id have many more runs left in me; this was my first day in over a year.

I forgot how many hot guys snowboard ;) :thumbsup:

I was up at cypress yesterday and this is the first time I've seen a car in the ditch going up the mountain. Wasn't a bad day to be riding.

[Volvo-brickster]

went to cypress today thinking it would be decent after yesterday

did 3 runs and left

slow heavy powder up top that turned to slow slurpee conditions at the bottom

[westopher]

City riding season is over unless you want to get some sunny park laps in. Otherwise its gonna be warm mashed potato snow/rain. March in whistler is already getting off to a good start though. I think I'll head there on wednesday depending on weather.

[hud 91gt]

Booya. Spring park season…. Where I can fall on my ass all I want and the bone breakage risk factor is down 70% ha.

[saveth]

I actually like slurpee conditions. I'll take that over ice any day.

anyone here use fusion flow bindings?
are they any good?
i kinda want to get a pair.
but dont know alot about it.

[dyan]

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone want to buy a cypress gold medal card still?

I have an unused one with the free lift still available.

[westopher]

Park was so fun at seymour today. The jumps are perfect.

[hud 91gt]

Never been to Seymour. Is the park better then Cypress?

[westopher]

I'd say so. This year is a bit of an anomaly, as it took them til like 2 weeks ago to put it together because they don't have snow making abilities, but they've put together a pretty decent set up. Last year there were way more features. I'm not big on hitting rails anymore. A bit, but just to mess around. I like hitting like 30-40 foot jumps the most, and as it stands seymour has 2 jumps on the smaller side of that scale, with perfect, steep, big takeoffs and nice landings. Last year the whole mountain had stuff built all over it which was amazing. Jumps all the way to the park as well as in the park. Also its a good vibe there. I wish I could embed videos on here from Facebook. I got a good shot on the bottom jump doing a fs3 nose that shows the setup well but can't link it here.
If I were to rate the hills in categories:
Seymour=park riding
Cypress=cruising and fun with a bit of park
Grouse=waiting in line and being annoyed as fuck.

[westopher]

I managed to upload a good shot of my buddy tim on the jumps to show what they are like. All his shots are on my phone and mine are on his so I'll have to get them somehow.

Bad idea to go boarding today... So much rain, worst snowboarding experience.
Went on 6 runs on Cypress, then decided to go home.

At least now I know what's it like if I go on a rainy day.

[meme405]

Heading up to whistler tomorrow. Should have about 30cm of new snow...

Heard its not really light fluffy snow, but a little heavier. NBD though, until I get stuck and I cant get going...:heckno:

[saveth]

I've gone riding in the rain before. If you don't have water proof gear, you will get wet. Lots of brands claim to be waterproof, which are a lie, but you know for sure when its pouring rain and youre soaked to the bone. This is the only time gortex really shines.
Posted via RS Mobile

[Xu.Vi]

I noticed a lot of people mistaken water resistant vs water proof lol.

[saveth]

I own my fair share of outerwear and quite a few of them clearly say water proof and they aren't. I use those jackets for walking around for a short period of time. I'm slowly biting the bullet and outfitting myself with all gortex gear but its quite expensive. Hopefully next season I'll finally be able yo afford a gortex jacket to finish the collection.
Posted via RS Mobile

[meme405]

Goretex is not the only material that is entirely water proof. It certainly is among the best, but don't be fooled into thinking to have good gear you have to go spend $700 on a goretex jacket.

On another note, whistler was excellent today. Nice soft snow, and by afternoon I was lapping the park with enough speed to hit every feature.

Lol, it was so bad, even my Gortex gloves got soaked through. It was really THAT bad. Maybe the gloves are dirty and not as effective now, and I have to wash it with Nickwax.

Surprisingly, my 5000mm pants and jacket was still doing alright... But my gloves and boots got soaked through.

Unless you guys are very extreme riders, I don't see much of a point of going all out with the Goretex gear. You'll probably have more fun just planning to go on a drier day. The clothing gets so "heavy" even if the water doesn't soak through.

[z3german]

went cypress sunday and monday

Sunday was great, it was the day after we had 100+mm rain. Snow was a weird hard powder, lots of great sections with way better than expected powder

Monday was pretty shite. In the 24 hours the powder dried up real good. Still have powder, but it is so dry you just slip around. Caught a lot of edges I never usually catch, ended up leaving an hour and a half earlier than expected.

Better to be dry than wet no matter what kind of a rider you are.

Anyone heading up to cypress soon? Or is season over pretty much.

Cant imagine it getting colder/wetter at the same time for season to pick up again, whistler and beyond is where its at now

Still gonna go up 1 time to use my free day. Totally wasnt worth the gold pass, only went 4 times and only 1 of the days I got some decent conditions. 3 other days were quite mediocre.

Think of it this way. As long as you go up 2 times without using the gold pass. It makes the pass worth it already.

[heisenberg]

anyone go up to cypress recently? wondering what the conditions are like.

[lowda9]

whistler was really fun today. snow was soft and towards the end of the day on the bottom runs the snow started turning to slush which was great to ride on. No lines all day, got so many runs in today.

[Kisame]

just completed my burton goretex set, I got every piece for about 50% off when ordering online. I'm ready for the rain and pow next season haha

[Pegacorn]

Went up to Cypress today. Some fresh snow and pretty soft, spring-like conditions. It was pretty warm in the afternoon but got cool and was icy in some spots later in the evening. Last night of night boarding :( We'll see how many more weekends there will be, but next weekend looks like it might be pretty good.

[fishCak3s]

Whistler over the past weekend. Beautiful when it's clear, but it was foggy half of the time.

[Amped]

Has anyone been to cypress lately? I still have my "free" admission for buying the gold medal card.

[Pegacorn]

Went up to Cypress on Sunday and it was a little soft but still pretty good, not slush. Hoping to go up tomorrow morning and not sure what to expect. Might be a bit slushy, supposed to rain a bit up there tonight, but sunny tomorrow.

[Pegacorn]

Snow was still pretty good up on Cypress today, but getting slushy and sparse. Some rocks poking through on Horizon. Warm and sunny, barely needed a jacket. I'm done for the season :(
Get up there tomorrow if you can!

[Simplex123]

at cypress right now. The snow is actually very good for spring. Slush but better than ice. Large and xl jumps on eagle have great landings! Sucks how they're only open Thurs-sun now
