Yesterday we finally went skiing for the first time since our arrival in Vancouver.
There are three places to ski near Vancouver: Grouse Mountain, Cypress Mountain and Mount Seymour, all about 30-40 minutes from downtown. Mount Seymour is apparently the spot where three quarters of people in the region have learned / are learning to ski. It is also there that our friend Mary was "ski patrol" last year.
But for our first time, we preferred to Cypress, with its panoramic views. Skiing with a sea view it's still something ... Lack of good pot, it was rather overcast, so no big sun on the slopes, but it was still great fun. And on a Monday, there's not too crowd on the slopes.
The area is not huge, but for me that I skied 3 times in my life, most recently in 2000, a few green runs are sufficient. 10 years later I'm doing not so bad, the snowplow still my best friend in the steepest descents, but a few sessions, I know slalom like a pro ... Brice says he was 12 the last time he skied but I think that in half to see his "pole plant" and descents "schuss" ...
Between the rental shoes, skis and sticks, and plan for the day, it takes about $ 115 per person anyway, so we will go there 3 times a week ....
