Its really not 15 minutes more than Loon.By the time you go through town its maybe 5 minutes more as you know you exit right to the parking lot at Cannon.

Seems to me they could require quad pack holders to just try to reserve a date(s) for usage by a minimum waiting period of a week or something of that sort.

And Cannon only ran the tram Friday through Monday anyway.I'll bet there is no tram this year.

You can only see east to north from the summit station.The bar has a nice view of Mt Lafayette.

My home mt Cannon pisses me off with their "we have the most trails in NH" crap.They divided their trails up into so many pieces,no shit.Miles and/or acres is where its at for me.

Have done catskiing 7 different trips in BC.Monashee Powder Adventures first 3 times and Mustang Powder the last 4.In roughly the same area about 50 or so miles west of Revelstoke,this area has the best snowfall in North America.Even in low snow years the lodge had at least 6-7 foot base.Mind...

That reminds me of the first few days i started skiing at a rope tow on a golf course.A guy came out of control and ran into the lift line.Had his poles pointed straight ahead and planted one of the pointed tips(at that time) right to the basket in a persons thigh.Almost ended my short skiing...

Whenever I wear shorts for skiing its along with a ski pant shell.As soon as the run is over the pants get unzipped and opened for the chairlift ride or when not skiing.

LL being at the eastern end of the Rockies has a pretty low annual snowfall by western standards.The northern latitude however usually keeps all that they do get.The annual snowfall 20 years ago when I went was listed then under 200 inches.

I hate when windchills are reported on the weather.I mean,even if its calm and 10 below I ski at 50 mph so the windchill is apparently 45 below.

It was blowing pretty hard along with the sideways rain on Friday.There were more than a few people skiing but not myself.I was surprised they opened at all.

Was so good for Nov/Dec.That crazy sundog was something I've never seen before.Unfortunately we had a fairly bad melt Sunday with quite a bit of rain and a boom of thunder.The upside is that it refroze the natural trails at the summit and the groomers were able to get to them which will...

It used to be part of Killingtons "the most,the best, the highest" with its 10 mile mile trail.

A-Basin's new Beaver lift is up and going through testing.Opens up a lot of new terrain for lift served.

Its also a quad vs a double so the liftline has to be cleared wider if not already as I'm not familiar with the whole length of the Black.
