Here we look from from the Quad Chair (or Sunrise chair) towards Bowen Island and Howe Sound ... a bit hazy though.
That's it guys.
Click on the pictures for a larger image. Michel Oicle and Ton's ski adventure on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver. Spring conditions for the last trips to Cypress Mountain of this winter season. During this trip Ton cracked his ribs during a forward fall and was out for the rest of the season anyways.
| Picture | Date | Description |
|
18-Apr-2000 18.00 | Michel
and Ton left work at 4.30 PM and were ready at the mountain around 5.45.
Well ... we had to beat rush hour from downtown Vancouver to Cypress
Mountain. It all looked good, 9 degrees (Celsius) on the mountain and
clear skies. This was going to be one of the nicest evenings to ski.
Here we look from from the Quad Chair (or Sunrise chair) towards Bowen Island and Howe Sound ... a bit hazy though. |

18-Apr-2000 18.10 | The first thing we did was ... EAT. All you can eat and drink for CAN $ 4.00 ... not a lot of choice: soft drinks and burgers (vegetarian or beef) or hot dog ... and the mustard was long gone. Anyways, you can't ski on an empty stomach. |

|
18-Apr-2000 21.00 | On our way back to Vancouver we stopped at the Cypress look-out to take this picture of the lights of Vancouver. |
|
18-Apr-2000 21.30 | The
Cypress restaurant closed early, so Michel and Ton went to The keg in West
Vancouver (Park Royal Mall) for the necessary rewards ... a jug (or
pitcher) of Granville Island Pale Ale.
