Snowboarding events are being held on Cypress Mountain , in West Vancouver in an area known as ‘the North Shore.’ Unseasonably warm temperatures have eroded the snow base at this venue, and event crews covered some spots with hay to prevent more melt. Snowmakers and trucks of snow from neighbouring mountains were also brought in to develop the venue.
