I am embarrassed to say today was my first day ever at Cannon. Left at the ass crack of dawn and arrived at 830. The ride up was fantastic without traffic but hit a few flurries just north of Boston for about 10 minutes. Remained overcast the entire ride until I hit Lincoln and ran into this ImageUploadedByAlpineZone1489964733.455833.jpg.

Booted up and was on the Peabody by 8:40 - temp was low 20s no wind and absolute bluebird skies ImageUploadedByAlpineZone1489965267.346228.jpg. Snow was hard and fast on Profile and decided to hit the front 5 for a few sunny laps. ImageUploadedByAlpineZone1489965351.429312.jpg. Vista was the worst trail of the day and one and done, great views though ImageUploadedByAlpineZone1489965433.197213.jpg

All were groomed except Paulie's which I waited for the afternoon to hit once it softened upImageUploadedByAlpineZone1489965544.433104.jpg.
They all skied amazingly and ripping laps were fun.

I headedbin long enough to grab a few pints of Great North Tye Dye which was very good and back out.

Skied until 2 hit upper hardscrabble and all the summit trails several time and headed home. Had a great day, probably the best non snow day of the season.

Looks highly skiable! Can you believe I've never "ripped laps" anywhere except maybe Berkshire East and other smaller hills? I ski every trail I want to ski, whether it's good or not, and call it a day. Think I might need to re-evaluate this strategy on certain days!
