Snowmaking conditions ideal at Olympic venues and in full swing
It’s been cold on the west coast of Canada. Snowmakers on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver have been working around the clock to produce as much snow as possible for the Olympic snowboard venues.
For the last two weeks conditions have been ideal for making snow with temperatures going down to around –10c on the mountain and crews have be able to make huge piles of snow at the top of halfpipe and it looks like the cold snap will last for a few more days. Some more natural snow is in the forecast after that. The Arena Snowpark crew will arrive at the beginning of January to begin construction on the halfpipe and it looks like they will have plenty of snow to work with. Arena Snowparks will be bringing in some top halfpipe builders for this project including Steve Petrie, John Melville, Ken Marler and Alex Iskat. The Olympic Games in Vancouver is only two months away.
