The last few years the grooming crews have been pretty terrible at laying consistent cord…it is often a mixed bag of ridges and inconsistent lanes. Stevens Pass and Crystal are better carving mountains in Washington, and then you have really good carving at Cyprus and Whistler across the boarder. hope that helps, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get a lot of snow and there's not much groomed terrain....and if the groomers don't do a great job with it that seals the deal. I'll check out the other two areas you mention. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) There's always few h/booters at Cypress, in despite of our grooming becoming worse over the years. Actually, last season was a bit better than previous few... Drop us a line if ever headed this way. Avoid the weekends, though.
