In spite of the cold, in spite of the 200 steps to go up and down and up and down again, I had a blast. The seating areas were situated so that we could see the last turn and jump as the skiers came down the hill.

Pictures from Cypress Mountain Ski Cross
This was my most adventurous day with 2 events back to back. Cypress mountain was a taxi ride and charter bus ride away. Even leaving the apt. I could tell that the air was getting colder and more humid. As we approached the mountain, a spectacular view of Vancouver appeared to the right, the only time that it would be clear all day. After reaching the parking area, we had to walk, of course, to the bottom of the viewing area, but that wasn't the end of it.
In spite of the cold, in spite of the 200 steps to go up and down and up and down again, I had a blast. The seating areas were situated so that we could see the last turn and jump as the skiers came down the hill.
The toilets and food are at the bottom of the stairs and the viewing area at the top. There are always outrageous fans, this one an Aussie. We had some New Zealanders behind us too.
