Today I only had a few hours to ski but the weather looked to be so nice I decided to make the trip up to Cannon even though I would have to leave around 1 PM. I got there before opening to maximize my time and didn't take breaks. It was in the 20s when I arrived and near 30 when I left. Blue skies and no wind made for a great day. Packed powder was everywhere. Ungroomed trails were firm but Hardscrabble was still fun. There was some nice softer snow to the far left of Vista Way among some small bumps that were forming. Upper Cannon and Ravine were great all morning but fully groomed.
Last weekend for the tram so I made a couple laps on that. Crowds were manageable but at times the summit lift was a bit backed up. They had line attendants though that were keeping things moving. Peabody and the triple never were more than a few chairs. Tram was busy but I never waited for more than one tram but I hit it earlier in the day.
Cannon became a favorite of mine almost instantly when I finally hit it for the first time last year. Sometimes it is bitterly cold and icy. It is almost always firm when I am there but the views today and the sun reminded me why I love it up there. Great terrain and views that can't be beat in a roughly two hour trip from Boston. The picture attached is from Vista.
