Cannon Lover's Thread

Woah. Profile is typically last. TBH, it should be. My least favorite trail off the summit.

On a warm sunny day this trail really shines.

Sure, but those are pretty rare. I just don't typically dig, super wide, straight, groomed trails. Especially ones like Profile that get wind blasted. I think it's cool that the new GM is open to mixing things up, but I'd rather see Taft, Ravine or Skylight vs Profile.

Oh completely agree. What they did there was not a good decision. I honestly miss the tbars. Im taking a cannon break this year aside from my 2 indy days

I miss the T Bars too. They should consider putting a line of trees between Profile and the Quad. It would both help with wind holds on the chair and also make for a better trail.

That's one of many trails in New England that could use some regrowth areas.

So has Cannon ever used just the Upper pod for early or late season skiing before? Seems a bit ironic if they have concentrated on the upper pod this year, when they could have done that before easily accessed by the (wait for it) Tram.

I remember the T bars as well. And (DHS, because we talked about it before) I have an old map that shows some sort of lift over to the left of Peabody from the triple (was a double back then) to the area near the top of Peabody. (may have to zoom in on it sorry). Also note the Banshee T Bar near the bottom of the tram. (skied those trails never rode the T-Bar)

Shows up better then I thought

That was the Middle T-bar. You can still see its cut, just barely, where Spookie crosses it just after it splits from Middle Ravine. Until recently the upper terminal was still there, behind some trees at the start of Goat Path. (The Lower T-bar was replaced by the Hong Kong chair in the early 70s, which went up what is now Parkway and you can see the foundation of its top terminal from Peabody just before it crosses the exit of Spookie.)
