Cousin of Beagle Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 T-33 at Cypress is in fine shape. Nice corduroy to start. There was a dude jibbing with a full-race Kessler BX board. Presses, butters, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Snowing again at Cypress! Collins reopened today too. I spent the most of the day on Easy, introducing my buddy, Alex, to snowboard. My ancient Burton Drivers, that I was keeping as loaners, finally met their demise - the soles delaminated from the rest of the boot. My koa Arbor Munoz got out to play, after being nearly retired for almost 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) T33, part of Tomcat, Collins, Easy and Fork open today! The morning was actually very carvable. Got scraped/bumped up quite a bit by the pm. 2x 3hrs instructor sessions. BXFR. Edited February 14 by BlueB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirui Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 another bluebird at whistler, saw a hardbooter lapping emerald6 and a few softboots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 (edited) Evening session, mostly T33... Ethan scared me with a big whipeout on the last run, at Collins. We drove him home, just in case he had a concussion. Edited February 16 by BlueB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin of Beagle Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 A couple of years ago, I saw him cartwheel on Windjammer and auger his head into the snow. His mirrored aviator sunglasses flew off his head. Hey, @BlueB!! Have you been T-boned this season yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Nice morning carving, with a crew of 4, of old the OG team! Good cord for few runs and not too many people (for a Saturday). Good lunch and chat afterwards... Tool: Colier VSR 165. Love it on not-too-steep terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirui Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Spent 2 awesome days at revy. @crackaddictshowed us around and on the first day and we filmed some clips together. One of the best groomers day I have ever ridden plus happy to learn from the best carvers. Next three days are going to be at Lake Louise for my CASI 3, hoping to pass riding and teaching this time. After that it'll be 2 days at Big White... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Whole day sessions, all carving. Morning mixed with skiers, pm with a single student. We did almost 3 hrs worth of "dolphin turns" I'm cooked. Ok snow, wet but not gooey. A bit of drizzle at the base at times, but snowing already 50m up the chair. BXFR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Super crappy conditions, refrozen chunky snow... Big group of very split abilities, but we made it work, somehow. Ethan ripping on that Kessler Ride. My BXFR solid as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 The while stuff is back - snowing like crazy all day, we needed it badly. It was probably a wrong day to boring the Virus skis, but I made them work. They eat up the groomers, but kinda suck on all the rest... We met a new buddy, @korc (?), on his BXFR with softies. Smooth carving with a bit of freestyle mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korc Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 (edited) Hi Boris, It was nice meeting you yesterday. Been off the board for quite a while so got to get used to riding again. Legs were spend by mid day. Haha. Maybe I'll try breaking out the hard boots again. Wonder how rusty the edges are.

BlueB Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Two sessions today, as usual. Mixed with skiers in am and snowboard carving in the pm. Groomers were pretty sweet in the am. It started snowing, a lot, in the pm. Winter's back. It was my last day of the season, by the looks of it. I have to fly to Europe on Thursday.

korc Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Hello, Wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or not for this. Need help w/ a dilemma. Looking to buy a season pass next year for myself and daughter. She skis. She took her beginner lessons at Cypress this year and absolutely fell in love with it and I want to sign her up for next year as well but her best friend's parents just bought their pass at Grouse. Do I be the good parent and buy a pass at Grouse so she can ski w/ her friend or do I be a "little" selfish and buy Cypress? Are there any good runs for me to get some nice turns in at Grouse? BTW, conditions were pretty amazing this past weekend at Cypress. Soft groomers and moguls that my BXFR cut thru pretty easily. Visibility not so much. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin of Beagle Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 (edited) Cypress 2024/25 passes now available for renewal! Brewski March 16 & 17. 44 minutes ago, korc said: daughter. She skis.

Buy yourself both a Grouse pass and a Cypress pass. Edited March 4 by Cousin of Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korc Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Wish i had time to ride that much to take advantage of both. Maybe when i retire. Oh wait. I live in Vancouver. I'm working to the grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Yes, there are few nice runs at Grouse. Best solution: Your daughter is under 10, right? Put her into Cypress Ski Club. For the mileage she'll get, it would be a lot cheaper than lessons and she'll become a lot better skier. She'll train at least twice per week, Thursday 5:30-8 and Saturday or/and Sunay 9-2. She'll make lots of friends, too. There are two paths, Race and All-mointain. I recommend she starts with race, for strong foundation. She can always switch later, if inclined. There's a club at Grouse too, but you won't have such a big carving community there. Not to mention that freeride terrain is enormously bigger at Cypress... when we all have the snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korc Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Thank you for the insight. Will have to look into the Cypress Ski school. Seems best for both of us. Well more me. hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
