Challenging snow conditions

Mother nature has a sense of humor. After battling for weeks in the rain to the build the pipe at Cypress Bowl, drier but not that cold weather conditions have turned the flat bottom of the pipe into sugar for the first two days of training.

Luckily, and I can’t believe I’m saying it, rain Monday night before the final day of training helped us get the flat bottom under control and the Tuesday night training session went off. The pipe is setting up quite nicely for the big show. Good luck to all the riders in the Men’s Olympic halfpipe event tonight.
