thanks to all.. it sounds like a waste of time/money... I may try Killington when the weather improves..I want to get there before the end of the season. Even if it is spring conditions (minus the rain), at least I will know what it's like, can help plan for next year.

Also - why does the Cannon website say "...but rain days are the best days, the snow is soft, temps are mild, and the mountain is quiet." I don't understand how rain (if it freezes overnight) can be good ? Well I see it may not freeze according to the forecast, until Sunday night (18 degrees)...

I'm back in Manchester after a trip to Lake Tahoe - I just missed the recent snow @Cannon by a few days. Can anyone speak to the conditions expected this weekend, or the weekends until closing? With rain in the forecast this weekend, it freezes overnight, then thaws later in the day - noon ? If...

That's nice to know~ I want to go tomorrow, but can't / might brave the crowds and go on sat/sun staying overnight on Saturday. Looking for somewhere cheap near Cannon. Littleton/Franconia/Lincoln/Woodstock..surprise, most places around $100 are full...

can anyone verify that it's snowing there now / may drop 5-8 tonight? Does anyone on the forum live close to Cannon, Franconia maybe? I want to drive up tomorrow morning but my wife says go to "w o r k" - really ? Why can't things be simpler? I think I'm going to buy a trailer park home or...

Looks like VT school break is 2/24 to 3/2, at least Jay Peak is reporting that. So during the next 2 weeks it should be more crowded than either before or after, logically. I hear what you are saying about non-resort resorts. Which non-resorts could be immune to the crowding expected at the...

I have a choice to take off work March 1-10 or March 14-24. Staying in the area (VT/NH/ME) and snowboarding, maybe 2 or 3 multi-day trips out of Manchester... If you had to decide by Monday, (I do) which would you choose? Maybe later in March, warmer temps mean softer snow (or possibly too...

thanks, I'm thinking Feb 25th will be safe to go outside again 8)..? How good/bad is the March skiing/boarding? Killington Jay and Sunday River are still on my list of overnight (2 days or more) trips..starting out from Manchester. And it will probably be in March. thanks

Hi I made it up to Cannon Thursday from 11am - close... I had just enough strength to do 11 runs..and take a few breaks. Just before 3pm everyone left - it emptied out in like 10 minutes and the wind died. The sun came out around 2pm, maybe? The snow was fast: I used a different board that...

Thanks in advance. Can anyone help contribute here to point out the busiest days upcoming at your favorite resorts? Most resorts do not post peak days and holidays plainly on their website. The idea: avoid them, if possible. Killington Peak Days posted on their website: February 16-24, 2019

Hi - I'm looking to Ride-share from Manchester or near Manchester NH to the following mountains: Cannon Wildcat Killington Sunday River Jay Or ? I have a 2017 AWD Explorer with snow tires. We can use my vehicle or yours, share gas money, share driving (or not). Makes the trip seem shorter if...

Hi - Was the snow good at least, or wet like here at sea level, and do you think tomorrow early is a decent call? their phone line sounded like they got a full 8" "5 yesterday, 3 today and still snowing at close..." Driving Manchester to cannon tomorrow morning is 1/2 distance to Killington...

Can anyone report on today for Cannon or K ? The Cannon website said 5" overnight and 3" today. In Manchester we got 4" of wet/hard snow with ice on top. Yuck. Still thinking of tomorrow, I'm going to call K and Cannon by phone and ask... Thanks

now Cannon is showing 5-8" of snow and ice, today, but Killington 8-12" snow today, 1-3" tomorrow.. I guess I am making my first trip to K. I'm looking at the weather channel website..

Anybody going to Cannon tomorrow? Likely alternatives? Will Thursday be "too late" haha ? Showing 8-12 inches forecast for today/tonight. Killington showing more than that.
