A shortish run from central Vancouver which included doing a few controls on the False Creek sprint map (would have liked to have done a bit more but had a fairly narrow window between first light and bus departure time) - reasonably standard urban sprint but still good to get the practice of that. Felt reasonably good for the most part.

Spent the rest of the day on Cypress Mountain, just out the back of Vancouver. In marked contrast to my previous visit to the slopes, the snow was excellent, the weather was not warm and the slopes, being a weekday, were uncrowded (I imagine the place gets packed at weekends). This made for a generally enjoyable day; the more powdery snow was a bit more demanding on muscles than the equivalent in Switzerland, which may or may not make its presence felt tomorrow.

Covered almost all the green and blue runs, with just one run at the top end of the blue range stretching me beyond my capabilities (although a few others streched me close to my limits).
