Hiking at Cypress Mountain. WOW - we got a nice sunny day and had a lovely day up at Cypress Mountain. They will be hosts to freestyle skiing and snowboarding competitions during the 2010 Winter Olympics. Jim and I spent many an hour skiing this mountain, so it was quite amazing to see how it has changed. They have added a huge section and new quad chairs. The freestyle jumps have been built and are busy settling. As you can see above, the snowboard park is still being worked on. These pictures were from about 10 days ago, so by now there's snow up there.
