The Coast has been getting pounded with rain in the valley and snow in the alpine so I snuck out for a morning of skiing near Cypress Peak. We have good snow above 1500m and it is dumping down more! This is definitely my earliest first ski of the year.
Whats the earliest you have skied new snow and where is your local go-to early season ski stash?
