Local Vancouver resorts
I have a flight out of Vancouver tomorrow night. It looks like Vancouver is getting all the snow. Was going to go to Whistler for the day but it looks like it's not snowing there. So are the local hills any good (cypress, Seymour, hemlock)? If so which is the best, willing to hike a bit or tour, but I am solo. Or think I should just go up to Whistler for the day, and hope to poke around and find some left over snow?? Help! Thanks!

Can't imagine skiing Seymour or Grouse if Whistler is an option, esp not after seeing recent photos from people in Whistler.

Just came back from Cypress which skied exceptionally well. Get there early. Lots were filling up when we left at 11.30; snow was creamy with pow spots and coverage really good

Had an amazing day at Cypress a few years back. 35 cms or so. 2nd Chair on the summit lift. 6 turns in hit a drift and double ejected. Gathered my self, skied back down only to be greated by a massive lift line. Just waited outside the maze until a single was about to board, jumped the fence and slid in beside him. Took an earful from the lifty (settle down man sheesh)
The guy I rode with was from Lions Bay S&R and gave me an unreal 4 run tour of the "back side" A day I won't forget. Soooo good.
That being said...Go to Whistler!
