Vancouver Olympic organisers say they'll be able to stop dumping snow on Cypress Mountain tomorrow and the venue will be ready for competition.
Helicopters and trucks are still bringing in snow from hundreds of kilometres away as the organising committee faces a looming deadline.
Australian skiers will have two hours of training time on the slopes tonight but media have been prevented from filming the area.
David Cobb from the Vancouver Organising Committee says it will be ready.
"We are very confident we had the most recent call about an hour ago, that I got off with a team expressing great confidence that work is going well," he said.
"The final snow will be brought in tomorrow and they'll be ready to go."
He says there is no chance the snowboarding and moguls events will have to be rescheduled.
