Ducking Out at Cypress Mountain

Written by Robyn on February 19th, 2009

This past Tuesday (Feb. 11, 2009) was a great evening to be up on any of Vancouver’s local mountains. It was actively snowing and throughout the evening there was about 15cm of new sticky snow! Tyler and I were excited to hit the slopes and we had a great night riding all the powder! The atmosphere on Cypress was contagious and everyone was so excited to be enjoying the fresh snow our local mountains so desperately need.

In addition, one of the local TV stations, City TV, was holding a contest that is now closed called ‘Duck Out’ to take a picture of a rubber duck in an unusual location. The TV station randomly selects 5 winners over 5 weeks so Tyler and I thought we would enter. The prize is pretty nice: $4500 value of a trip for two to Acapulco Fairmont Hotel!
We thought we would bring our devil duck up to the slopes on Cypress Mountain to enjoy all of the fresh snow! Here are the two pics Tyler and I submitted:

Also, here is another Devil Duck picture that we didn’t submit that Tyler took that I enjoy.

Anyways, we and the devil duck had a great evening on Cypress Mountain……can’t wait until we get some fresh snow soon.
