Snowshoeing & chocolate fondue at Cypress
A few weeks ago, I went up to Cypress to enjoy some snow, some giggles, some awesome chocolate fondue, and some exercise.
Wow, let me emphasize the exercise part! It was only about 3 weeks after my half marathon adventure, so my knee still wasn’t 100% — But, despite the discomfort, I was able to manage, and enjoy, the journey.
We started out our mini-trek at about 6:30 from the Nordic Area of Cypress Mountain… After putting on the yeti shoes, of course. It was a full moon that evening, and man was it beautiful… I had asked Chris (Monica The Army Mascot movie allan quatermain and the temple of skulls download free this is england online
Charley Varrick dvdrip ‘s guy – she shares!) to join me, because he loves snowshoeing. And, joining us as well, was Reilly
, and Josh.
During our journey to our destination — a warm hut full of chocolate fondue and dipping goodness — our guide regaled us with all sorts of really cool facts about the area, and hiking safety in general. I found this part the most interesting (and not just because we’d stopped so I could catch my breath and remove another layer of sweaty clothing).
We ended up spending almost an hour at the hut, enjoying the fondue and laughing with the other 10 or so people that were on the adventure (including the sexy chicks from SexyinVancity.com War, Inc. divx who were also enjoying the night), before heading back down the mountain.
I actually found the trek back down (only 20 minutes or so, versus the 45 minutes up) a lot easier once I’d had some sugar in my system… Sugar high, anyone?

I’d HIGHLY recommend this night out for anyone who enjoys snow, a little exercise, and relaxing by a warm fire while enjoying some fondue. Thanks so much to Cypress Mountain for putting this on for us! More information about this snowshoeing tour, and others available on Cypress, click here.

wow that looks like fun – i’ve always wanted to try the night snowshoeing there.
After having worked there many years ago, I think Cypress is the devil (well, not really, but their lift ops department were run by assholes) and have a semi-boycott going on…
So for V-day, the boy & I headed up to Seymour for their chocolate fondue snowshoe adventure instead. It was a total blast. My knee was pretty unhappy with me afterward, but SO worth it.

Sounds amazing
We didn’t quite get enough snow around here though to need snowshoes, although I did break out my snowman making gloves …

That’s fantastic! Oh if only I lived in Canada where these things still happen and nobody looks at you strangely for doing them! Sounds like you had a great time!
