Despite some mild conditions the pipe build at Cypress Bowl is progressing along.

ASP crews have been doing a lot of form boarding and snow blowing to maximize the available snow and began shaping the walls on Tuesday. Work will continue through the week in the lead up to the start of the Games. The goal will be to maintain the current snow pack at the venue and continue with pipe shaping during what is expect to be mild conditions for the next few days.
