Mike, you definitely should. It’s just a cheap greasy breakfast but it is always yummy. Don’t forget to try the chocolate milkshake…. mmmmm. Haha yes, almost full.. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions As for the windows.. looks like Tyler has the answer

Tyler, yes you are probably right… I don’t ever remember there being a magic carpet ride there but I could be wrong (that pipe is right across from the main ticket window at Cypress).

Urban Dweller, thank you mister! Yes it is going to be epic when it opens It’s true, we must never give up on the Canucks! You’re right, Lou appears to be a very important component of this team… I’m not disappointed with the way our backup goalies have been playing, but I think Lou does bring an extra something that can make the difference in a game.

Davin, yes it feels great to have a new computer! Phew It was a disaster there before.

Yes! Josh that is amazing… I love making breakfast on weekend mornings, especially before a ski trip Hehe hey, at least the Leafs have won a Stanley Cup! Yeah it was a good win against Minnesota but they couldn’t pull it out against Colorado last night. *shakes fist at shootouts* I was seriously thinking about taking one of those sign posts but I’d probably feel guilty forever about it, so I didn’t

Dan, thanks very much. I’m happy with the RAM so far. Nice, what laptop did you get? I can’t wait for boarding pics too.. if only there was snow to take them on

Those are some great pics Allie, you have a good eye. Also, nice new tripod and system.. 8gb of RAM… that’s bangin. I just hooked myself up with a new laptop recently with close to the same specs (not quite as good but im loving it.

Look forward to some updated boarding pics!

That brunch looks so good – my favourite part of the weekend is going out for, or making myself, a nice big breakfast with eggs, hashbrowns, turkey bacon and toast. I also suggest the breakfast burrito at Milestones!

As for the Canucks and their losing streak… we’ll let’s just say that you can be happy you are not a Leafs fan like me . And your team beat Minnesota tonight so things are looking up already!

I would have been tempted to take home one of those resort sign posts!

Welcome back Allie! Those are some wicked photos. Cypress lodge looks beautiful and the location is awesome. You can’t ask for a better location, can’t wait to get up there!

The Canucks, it seems Roberto is much more of leader than we first thought, then again if the Canucks won 4 in a row we’d be talking about how we don’t need Louie anymore lol. Awww to be a Canucks fan…

Great photos as per usual! That black corrigated tube.. isn’t that covering the ‘margic carpet’ things for the toddlers when they learn to ski? At least it was when I was up at Cypress a few weeks ago picking up out season pass. We have friends who work on the mountain too so we went to visit them. It will be great once the lodge is done (and there is snow). I’m excited for when Cypress opens though!!

@mike the windows do have the stickers on them. its to ensure construction workers see them so they don’t put anything through them. There wasnt any exposed insulation when i was there last. Pretty cool lodge though its going to make being at Cypress even cooler than previous seasons.

I’ll be trying that Whitespot breakfast soon – that photo looks *really* good.

And 2 terabytes of storage that are ALMOST FULL? :O Good lord Allie what do you have on there? Something to go Arrrr, shiver me timbers?

Cypress lodge; are those windows still being installed/sporting the “new window stickers”? And it looks like some exposed insulation up there too…
