After tonight's broadcast and after looting our hotel mini-bars, we're going to try to brave the blizzard and fly east to home and hearth, and to do laundry well into next week. Before we leave this thoroughly polite country, the polite thing to do is leave behind a thank-you note.

Thank you, Canada:

For being such good hosts.

For your unfailing courtesy.

For your (mostly) beautiful weather.

For scheduling no more than 60 percent of your float plane departures at the exact moment when I was trying to say something on television.

For not seeming to mind the occasional (or constant) good-natured mimicry of your accents.

For your unique TV commercials -- for companies like Tim Hortons -- which made us laugh and cry.

For securing this massive event without choking security, and without publicly displaying a single automatic weapon.

Recently our Junior Lesson Camp Supervisor was creating a Scavenger hunt for the XMAS Camp Kids ages 7-14.  The marketing department at Cypress Mountain was asked the year the plane crashed at Cypress Mountain, the one that the ski run T-33 on Sky Chair was named after.

We did know the origin of the ski run name but never did any digging around for the details or dates of the crash.

After some research, here is what we found out!

See you on the slopes,

Vancouver's Most Unique and Memorable Dinner Tour.

Last night the Cypress Marketing team joined a small group of staff from both Nordic and the Alpine areas, as we trekked along through the snowy forest on our annual Fondue Tour training session. As the Guinea Pigs for the popular Snowshoe Fondue Tour, we got to sample some new games and team building activities, prepared by our very experienced tour guide, Mark. He has been working on the mountain for over 10 years now and has earned the well-deserved nickname, "Snowshoe Mark".

Check this special guest that flew in to Nordic Base Area on December 4, 2009 early in the morning.  

This is a Saw-whet Owl, that flew into an open car, checked out the parking lot, then flew off to check out the Cross Country Ski trails.
