Pipe build moving forward
Conditions have improved somewhat at Cypress Bowl with a few days of clear weather followed by a bit of natural snow. ASP crews have finished roughing in the right wall of the halfpipe and plan to use some of the new snow to widen out the roll out decks. Shaping of the pipe walls with the cutter will start later this week.
ASP hand shaping crews are beginning to arrive this week to assist the pipe builders with fine tuning the snow surface and help prepare for what ever the mother nature throws our way. The forecast for the next few days is for cooling and a chance of snowmaking conditions at the snowboard venue.
Cypress Halfpipe Build Underway
ASP crews have started construction on the halfpipe at Cypress Mountain, site of the Olympic snowboard events. Despite some challenging weather conditions in Vancouver area the pipe is starting to take shape with the right wall pushed and step out and the left wall currently being pushed. Construction on the pipe will continue throughout the next two weeks as crews ensure that every available flake of snow sees it’s way into the pipe.
