BlueB Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Empty hill!? Well, empty for Saturday... I guess the hordes are shopping crazed before the C-Day... No line ups, only the top parking full... Well more fun to us! Hero buttery snow, a bit slow though. It started snowing like crazy in the afternoon. Tonight should be drier and cold with more or less sunny tomorrow, it should be really good! Luka is "cheats" - somehow he does his snowplow a lot now, drives me crazy. It's almost that we regresed to where I wanted him to be early last season?! Only towards the end of the day he started carving again. However, he did Midway (blue run) and fell only once! We also did Collins once, almost without stopping. It's still too long for him, though. We saw a guy on Alp and soft boots, riding super narrow stance. I tried to talk to him but he was a bit disinterested, kinda ignored me... No site of other hard booters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin of Beagle Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 No site of other hard booters. I was there too! But on softies. Was also there on Friday. Sunny! Friday's pic and Saturday's pic: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin of Beagle Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 8:30 parking lot. 8:50 Ride. Around -5°C. Overcast sky. Mostly Coyote 7 for 12" to 18" of cold, dry, fresh. 90 minutes, then tracked out. Today's weapon: Dynastar 3800 - 163 cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Luka and me arrived a bit later, 11ish. Many more people then yesterday! Bottom parking full too. Snowy morning turned into a sunny afternoon... This Tuesday will be either monster (wet) snowfall, or another flood, as the temps are going up.

xy9ine Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 When u'll get yr new baby? RT don't think i'll be getting the new prior. too much coin even at the discounted price. i'm 'po, alas. riding the old option c165 is interesting to say the least; gets pretty sketchy when pushed - definitely emphasizes my suckyness. the prior was lots more forgiving. shorter radius (something like 10m) is kinda fun though.

BlueB Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Much better day then expected. It stayed colder then I thought, so we never saw the rain. Some freshies in the begginning, got compacted by crowd to pretty good surface, rather then bumped up. I saw Scooby trenching the JJ run - he got pretty good comment from our chief staff trainer. Couldn't get to play with him, though - too busy teaching and sessioning with instructors. My only play time was after the lessons, at about 3pm. Didn't even have the lunch today... No signs of other h/booters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin of Beagle Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Did mostly "secret" freshies off Midway Chair with the Dynastar 3800 - 163. With Scooobster for a few runs. Received replacement UPZ cant disks in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin of Beagle Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 8:45 Parking. 9:00 Eagle Chair. JaseyJay had 12" of fresh wetness going into Maelle Ricker (innuendo intended). Lower Trumpeter was fun too. Upper Trumpeter had around 18" to 24" of deepness. Did mostly Coyote 7 the rest of the morning, which had 12" to 18" of freshies. Black Fly was a bit bumpy. Weapon of the day: Dynastar 3800 - 163. Probably too windy tomorrow, with 30 knots predicted. Luckily I will be windsurfing. When I left at noon, Midway Chair was still closed.

Cousin of Beagle Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 From the web site: Easy Rider Quad is scheduled to be in opening this morning at 9 AM - Eagle Express and Lions Express will be on wind standby until further notice. Sky Chair, Midway Chair and Raven Ridge Quad Chair will be closed today. On the other hand, Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen might be windy enough for windsurfing later today.

BlueB Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Christmas Dinner overeaten hang-over crowds slept in late, then went shopping, rather then visiting foggy, windy, haily Cypress... More space for us! As I said, conditions were very tricky, at the best. Variable visibillity, ranged to almost none at some points. 2" of fresh over last night's groom and ice didn't feel all that great, either. Strong winds, hail, freezing rain, then some heavier snow later on. Yet, accumulation was getting pretty good in the afternoon and if it carried on through the night, tomorrow would be quite spectacular, with another 20" on the forecast... Crew: Scooby, Ben (softbooter), BlueB Toys: WCRM 177, WCRM 173w, K2 softy, Kessler 171/22.5, Proto 167 I wasn't in the element today... Fightting my boards and holding back in the tricky conditions. I guess the busting of the big Kes is still too fresh in my memory... Scooby didn't seem to be too phased by the conditions and arced some nice turns. Ben got lost/separated few times and finaly wrecked himself pretty good - swallen jaw, cut on the chin and inside the mouth... We called it a day at about 2pm.

Ondrej Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 hey guys, how are you doing? I just replied to Roy's email. I read your posts here, seems like you were battling with conditions so far, we have had in Norway -15 C in average for the last month but almost no snowfall. Now we finally got some powder and I can't wait to get on the slopes once I come back from Czech Rep. Boris, do you still have my former Choc board in your collection? :) I hope we get a chance to carve together again. Cheers, Ondrej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarvingScooby Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 hey guys, how are you doing? Doing great, thanks. Snow came some more and now we just need lots of days light (such as today Dec 28,2010) so we know where to carve and Cypress need to add more runs & chairs to ease off the traffic & line up...:p we have had in Norway -15 C in average for the last month but almost no snowfall.

BlueB Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Ondrej! Don't have the Choc any more... It was perfect spec for someone that was starting up last year, so I let it go.... Have fun in the Norvegean pow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hero snow in the morning. Medium crowd in the beggining, then crazy afterwards. Crew: Scooby, BlueB. Toys: SG 185, Kessler 171/22.5, WCRM 173 After ripping for 2 hours with Scoob, I had the lessons to teach. It turned into a straight 6 hrs session, no brakes to eat, pee, drink, add layers... right into the dark. I'm pretty buggered up right now...

CarvingScooby Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hero "hard pack" condition, fast snow. Lift at Eagle start taking at 8.50am. Also great, was no line up: 11/12 runs straight into chair! Crowd start after 10ish.The crowd wasn't as bad as the other day on Monday even thou parking 3B is full. Cypress was more organize in the line up then yesterday by having some one coordinating. Toys: SG-185, WCRM-177 Struggling the first 5 runs with the SG-185 before can handle the way I wanted. Deck want to straight down instead finishing the turn. Stayed till 1.30PM= the last toy was WCRM, with this deck I manage EC on my toe side....

philw Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Looks good. I may have to kill a day at YVR in between here and there... what's the best/ simplest reasonable way to get from the airport to Cypress and back? I'm thinking taxi or bus etc?
