Wildcat or Cannon Tomorrow- 10-24-06

Salida, Sled, NHPH, anyone? Still not sure which mountain will be better. I'm leaning towards Cannon though because it is closer.

I havent heard any reports from the 'Cat yet so I would lean towards Cannon. Powderfreak over on FTO thinks the Whites could see as much as 4-8" tonight(10-16 in the mountains of the NEK). I wont belive it until I see it. Bring the rock skis wherever you go!

If you do go to Cannon, I would suggest peeking at Barrons over on Mitty. They may be positioned fro a better upslope event than the Cannon side. It might just be wishful thinking though.

Good luck and take some pics!

4-8 tonight!!! Where is his forcast, send it to me now! I've been driving myself nuts for the pasts 30 minutes trying to find it. 10-16 in the north east kingdom? That seems pretty wierd? Did you mean northern vermont aka jay peak and stowe?

i am bringing gear to work with potential of leaving early and heading to either jay or cannon if reports indicate worth while skiing. i haven't heard any reports and haven't seen much on the radar to indicate much is happening over there. i am definitely leaving work early on thursday for some turns. thursday is a freaking busy day with turn earning followed by freaking AFRIKA BAMBAATAA in burlington, holy crap 4am here i come!

As of now i think your best bet for some good turns would be sunday river they got 6-8 already. if u go, drive up to the jordan hotel and from there u can hike for some decent turns on excalibur because i would bet there is not much snow down on barker. If there is some huge upslope snows tonight than cannon might be better though but the radar looks pretty dead

Shouldn't you be in school or something? Playing a little hooky?

awf170 · Oct 24, 2006, 1:51 PM

Alright, I didn't go. Sunday River is too far. I heard first hand reports that Wildcat didn't get enough snow, and I think Cannon was too far west for snow. Tomorrow or thursday would be way better but I can't go. And, yes birdman I had school today. Sunday looks the next time I can get out, and by the looks of it right now might be epic.

So who is in for sunday?
