New trails maps

[RIDEr]

I might be asking for a lot from a east coast resort, but I wonder when they'll go to a flash map that allows you to zoom in and out of the map.

BTW, while we are talking about changes at Cannon this year.... $60 lift ticket? No weekend rates? At least we still get two-fers (also price increased) and NH resident days. But $60 for Cannon? I think it was $55 last year? $60 is almost as expensive as Jay (*cough*) and MORE expensive than Wildcat. I don't remember Cannon ever being more expensive than Wildcat as long as I have been paying to ski these two mountains. Looks like I will be earning turns more often than I thought this coming season. Lame-o new Cannon management, lame. That higher price tag better come with some better snow making equipment.

I was thinking the same thing. Last year it was $54 weekend, $42 midweek, so up to $60 is a big change, especially for midweek skiers. Also the NH resident day price has gone up $5 each of the past 2 seasons. My pass is only $30 more than last year so it;s not really a big deal too me, but i hope the increase in price means there will be improvements.

I am doubtful about the improvements. I am skeptical this is not just the new GM coming in and making some serious changes. The biggest improvement Cannon needs, and has needed for a while, is a big boost in snow making. I don't recall any announcements this year indicating much is being improved in this category. The $18 mid-week jump is off the f'ing charts, unbelievable. Guess they just don't want people to ski there on Mondays and Fridays and the mountain will be residents only on Wednesdays. Who pays $60 to ski mid-week??

Wow! That does seem really steep! Well at least pass holders will have the place to themselves mid-week..

Don't count on it. It's almost certainly meant to help offset increased energy costs.

It was empty midweek last year, I think I waited in line maybe 10 mins total for the entire year midweek. I guess it will be even less crowded now. Good for me, not for the mountain.

Which map are you talking about?

[thebigo]

Ragged has a put a new map on their new website. No new trails that i can see but many have been renamed in a 'rag' theme.

When I hiked ragged last summer I hunted around in spooks gorge for a while and found a couple of new trails that had never appeared on the map, they have not been added to this map.
