Heavy rain has washed away most of the fresh snow at Cypress Mountain, one of the main Winter Olympics venues and thick fog and snow forced the cancellation of the women's downhill ski training at Whistler.
On Cypress, a mountain on the outskirts of Vancouver, heavy rain began to fall in the pre-dawn hours.
With temperatures rising, the rain washed away most of the much welcomed snow that had blanketed the bare mountain the previous night.
After days of importing snow from other sites by truck and via helicopter in order to sculpt the freestyle and snowboarding courses, organisers had welcomed the arrival of the real thing through a day of snow showers.
The fresh snow helped on the moguls course, where competition begins with the women's medal event on Sunday.
Training in the morning on the snowboard parallel giant slalom course was cancelled at Cypress.
Workers pulled tarpaulins over the moguls and the halfpipe to protect the course from the rain.
