Well, it's still skiing. Though I think Saturday will be good enough, not like there is going to be pow you're missing out on (unless there is a drastic change in the forecast). No idea whatsover on the north shore mountains.

Gave the snowphone a call, and apparently there could be up to 40cm of snow falling between now and Friday.

It's pouring on the North Shore, so I can definitely see some heavy snow in the forecast.

it's nine degrees here right now. So have a feeling that the locals and the lower half of whis are getting rain. It is supposed to drop to 2 degrees for thurs/friday though which will be sick if the rain keeps up!

Freezing levels around 1500-1650 metres now. That's not great (mid Red/Green chairs), so ya it's raining. However, they look to be dropping to 1100 by tomorrow night (Olympic station) and then to the surface by Wednesday night. After that we could see up to 40cm of snow by Saturday morning. It won't really be a pow day for opening, but hopefully it's decent.

With regards to the park, usually they have a couple rails/boxes set up at opening.

yea with this new snow and so much on their table as it is it seems to be likely that they will neglect much of the park. But when there is pow ppl shoudlnt be in the park anyway.

Or check the site.

Small setup on opening day off of Papoose near Chic Pea.

Probably nothing spectacular, but skiing is skiing.

In regards to my marks and overall health, it would be nice if I could turn off this stoke until the weekend. But that's not possible. ONLY A COUPLE DAYS AWAY WOOOOO

Glad to see the freezing levels on their way down for the weekend too

They're always giant for the first couple days.

It'll probably be far busier on the Saturday than the Friday.

The weather forecast is looking great for a possible early start this weekend! Snow is expected to start to fall Tuesday night and continue on until Friday night. 50cm of snow is forecasted with excellent snowmaking weather following the snowfall. We will try to open as much terrain as conditions allow, so stay tuned the website for further details as we approach the start of our 27th Winter Season!about an hour ago · Like · Comment

straight from the cypress facebook page possibly opening for this weekend!!

Jesus christ, look at the newest photo added to facebook.

Taken about 30 minutes ago and the guy is drowning in snow. Now I'm actually considering the Caylors for tomorrow.

I'll be on Wrenegades, but they are my rock skis. They may be some good pockets up there, I just hope they aren't all gone by Saturday (of course the will be). Also, goddam it is going to be cold Sunday/Monday!
