Comments
Beautiful conditions in Cypress. Over 30 cm fell in 24h, and temps stay cold. Anything touched by the afternoon sun got crusty. Everything in the shade skied really well with foot deep powder. First 10 cm was easy to trigger. We saw two sz1 run down Xmas gully triggered by two skier groups. Snow was significantly heavier and warm at around 1200 m. No other instabilities noted.
