Tomorrow: Whistler or Cypress

The wife and I are going to ski/board tomorrow. First day of the season. Probably a little bit of gear fiddling as she has a new board and I will be bringing out my new sticks.

The connundrum exists though, Whistler or Cypress?

Both have lots of snow from today/tonight.
Similar ticket price (considering Whistler early season pricing)
Obviously the quick drive to Cypress is nice.

I know W/B very well, I haven't skied Cypress in years and even though only a few times. Will Cypress likely be good tomorrow, good enough to give up a day at W/B?

We cannot decide so I leave it up to NSMB to make my life decisions.

Baker will have the most snow.

I'll stay away from the US border tomorrow, Black Friday could be a bit of a gong show.

that is what I was thinking too.

Go to Baker. Sumas border crossing shouldn't be bad at all.

just did some weather forecast reading. Freezing levels will be 850m in Whistler and 1000m in Cypress.

Whistler it is.

Sunday is looking wicked for some local mountain touring though. Last snow on friday, Saturday to settle, sun and cold on Sunday.

Drive up tonight was pretty sketchy, leave early! Cypress could be good if you get there early.

Thanks for the advice, definitely the plan.

Unrelated but I need to hook up with you and Lee sometime this winter when you do one of your "not so sufferfest days"!!!

Cypress was good today. If the freezing level is rising then don't bother. Wasn't even busy either, got on the chair as soon as you wanted to get back on it.

Great first day

ha ya, that probably won't be until the new year!

No touring for me tomorrow, will be with my snowboarder wife- although she is interested in getting into touring now.

Maybe see you on the lift.

Local Mountains should be pretty good tomorrow if the snow I left to on Grouse kept up. Great day riding some "Grouse pow" ;)

Hope you picked whistler.

I skinned up seymour in a shitty white out. a light rainy drizzel all the way up to the top of brockton.

peas soup fog gave me ab out 5 feet of vis

^^ ditto. Good for getting the dust off the split but that was about it. Blech.
