Well it seems to be getting closer to that time of year when I can break out my Burton Snowboard and other gear to get ready for the upcoming snow. I read various local reports, status updates on Facebook as well as looked out the window and all the local mountains got a dusting of snow! Which means Cypress, Grouse and Seymour all received some snow! Hopefully this means that the snow conditions this year will be awesome! I am looking forward to the new lodge at Cypress.
Why do I care about the snow?
Well Robyn got me into snowboarding and I only had the opportunity to hit the snowy slopes 4 times last season (spring season at Cypress and then Whistler/Blackcomb) so I am getting pretty excited for snowfall this season.
I have most of my gear too! Burton snowboard, boots, bindings, North Face jacket, pants and gloves. All I need now is a helmet and I am pretty much ready to go!
Golden Ears Mountain
Anyone else excited for this year’s winter season?

Too bad the freezing level is going up to 2500m this weekend, meaning the snow will melt.
Bunch of my friends and I are hoping for a backcountry ski trip this weekend but that’s looking less and less likely.

Aww that is no fun. It’s pouring with rain now and it won’t snow in the mountains?
