They opened the skating pond but I really don't think they will open with only 65cm.  If they did it would be the illest and I could save myself $50 on Whistler lift ticket.  Where did you hear/read this?

Rumor I heard was that they were planning on being ready to open the 14th, snow permitting of course.

I guess its Cypress this year.

Also anyone going from this side of the sea bus?
I really hate bussing alone and it'd be good to have some company.

It's too bad you guys are hating on Grouse, they have the sickest jib-park set up in years. Park crew are killing it right now.

Seymour riders are hilarious. The whole turf mentality is ridiculous.

I get it that you want to "rep yo hood", but why preach it to the world? Wouldn't you rather keep the goods all to yourself, or is it some sort of inferiority complex...?

If it's a mountain and it has snow, be stoked. More options are better for everyone.

I totally agree, Its one thing to support your mountain. Its a whole other thing to be going shitting on other mountains in a whole bunch of threads.
