Avui un dia increïble a Cypress Mountain!
Qui va dir que a Vancouver no hi nevava?! Al llevar-nos ens hem trobat tot el barri nevat! I col·lapsat per la neu, cues de cotxes, un autobús que havia relliscat i casi s'havia estampat a una casa, i l'Skytrain ple de gent, molt ple de gent.
En Jordi i jo amb les botes penjant de la motxilla, plena a rebentar, amb els esquis els pals i tot plegat ens hem entaforat al Skytrain com hem pogut. Hem anat cap a North Vancouver amb el Seabus, i allà hem agafat un bus (que ha arribat uns 40 minuts tard) i que ens ha portat a les pistes.
Un cop allà, havia nevat moltíssim, feia un dia una mica emboirat, fred i ennuvolat però ha escampat i ha acabat fent un molt bon dia!
Al cap d'unes baixades ens hem trobat amb la Natalie i en Darcy, que estaven esquiant amb uns amics seus també i ens hi hem apuntat! En saben un munt, i és un plaer veure'ls esquiar! Fan molta enveja!
Per sort tenim tot un hivern per endavant per millorar i aprendre'n tant com pugui.
Com veieu portàvem tots unes ulleres molt útils, però una mica estrafolàries i a través d'elles semblava que encara fes més bon dia. Semblava que estiguessim dintre de la pel·lícula Vainilla Sky. Aquí hi ha algunes fotos retocades amb un to aproximat de com ho veiem tot!
La muntanya sense boira, és espectacular! I estan tant a tocar de la costa que es veu el pacífic des de dalt de tot! Increïble! En serio, no hi havia paraules per descriure-ho!
Veus llocs així, i t'adones que no et vas equivocar de país al escollir de venir! A Vancouver hi plou molt sí, però un dia com el d'avui compensa tota la pluja i més!
Cap a les tres quarts de quatre, en Darcy i la Natalie s'han retirat i naltrus ens hem quedat a aprofitar encara més el dia! A part, a les 4 ja es fa fosc, i a aquestes pistes també s'hi pot esquiar de nit i ens feia gràcia de provar-ho! Espectacular també!!
A les 5 i mitja ja estàvem rebentats, ja se'ns havia fet fosc, i ja havíem esquiat prou per tant ens hem retirat. Hem estat dintre del bar menjant algo i "descansant" fins a les 7:30 que baixava el bus cap a Downtown. Després un altre bus, Skytrain una altra vegada i eren les 9:30 que arribàvem a casa...
Ha estat un dia molt intens, divertit i que costarà d'oblidar! Segur que demà quan comenci a rentar plats m'ho prendré amb moltes més ganes, tot esperant el meu pròxim cap de setmana! Que de ben segur tornarà a tenir com a mínim un dia d'esquí! :)

Today, such an incredible day in Cypress Mountain!
Who was the one taht said that in Vancouver it never snows?! When we wake up we found our neighborhood full of snow! It was collapsed, trafic jam, a bus stacked that it was very near to crash into a wall, and the Skytrain full of people, really full of people!
Jordi and me, we took the boots, our backpack full of things, the skis the pulls and we did our best to fit into the Skytrain. We went until North Vancouver by Seabus, and there we took a bus (40 minuts late than it what it was supposed to be) to go to the resort.
Once there, it had snowed a lot, it was foggy, cold and cloudy, but later the sun came and finally we had a wonderful day!
After some descents we met Natalie and Darcy, they where skiing with some friends and we joined them! The really know how to ski, it's a pleasure to watch them skiing! I must admit that I feel envy of their stile and skills! Luckily we have a whole winter to improve and learn as much as we can! :D
As you can see, we were wearing a useful goggles, that looks funny and through their filter seemed that the day were even more gorgeous. It really seemed that we were inside of Vainilla Sky mobie.
Here I retouched some picture to let you imagine more or less how we were seeing everything!
The mountain without fog is amazing! It is so close to the coast that you can see the Pacific Ocean from the top! Incredible! Really, there are no words to describe it!
You find places like this and you realise that you weren't wrong in chosing this country! In Vancouver it always rains, yes, but days like this make it really worth it!
About between 3 and 4 at the afternoon, Darcy and Natalie left us, and we kept enjoying. Also at 4 it gets dark and the sun sets. We had never skied at night, and we wanted to try! It was amazing too!
At half past five, we were exhausted, it was completly dark, and we had enought ski for a day so we surrendered. We came in to the bar to eat something and resting until half past seven when we took our bus to Downtown. After another bus and the skytrain, it was half past nine that we were finally arriving home...
It was a really intense and funny day, it will be hard to forget! I'm sure that tomorrow when I'll start to wash dishes again, I will take it more calmly and enjoying more, thinking in next weekend! That I'm preatty sure that I am going to ski again at least for a day! :)
