Funny to read this thread! From the looks of things this has been one of the best openings for Cannon that I can recall - although Dec 20th 2014 was a good day on mittersill due a two foot dump. And yet this opening is not good enough. Why? Almost as if the thought process is best is not good enough. You were lucky if you skied Mittersill before mid January (exception Dec. 2014). Take a look at last year on Dec 19th. Now, be happy with what you have this year!

Skied cannon today, first time this year and second time in several years. Conditions were scraped down glare ice nearly everywhere, after skiing crotched regularly this year we were disappointed. Cannot understand why they were blowing on mittersill all day when the upper mountain clearly needed to be refreshed. Had a cannon pass some 7 or 8 years ago and they left a gun running on the connector between the Peabody and cannonball, this approach was sorely needed today.
One question - there were numerous valves that appeared to be losing large volumes of air to the atmosphere on the upper mountain, but there was no snow being blown on cannon proper. Are cannon and mitt on the same air loop?

Not surprised after rain and refreezing. They are probably going to tune up trails for the weekend. Plus they are getting Mittersill ready for a race event coming in early January.

Wish they would have put a higher ceiling in with big windows for views of the mtn. Like in the other section of the lodge.

Pretty bony out there for lunch turns. Upper Gremlin looked deadly - saw a boarded hook a front edge and penguin slide for ~75 feet. Front five were a decent mix. Paulie's has nice snow on the right side with boilerplate on the left. Rocket & Gary's good.
Looked like all snowmaking efforts were on Mittersill. A groomer was laying tracks on the training slope.

Oh Cannonball Public then!
That is no longer a new bar - apparently it has been a while for the person that posted that.

Hopefully you had a good experience on your return - sounds like you enjoyed Cannonball Pub at least. We like it there too - great beer selection and the food is pretty good too.

My daughter and I took a tour de Cannon today. Parking seemed crowded but lodge and slopes were not. Took a few rides on the new t bar, double was not spinning. Superslope was ok. You and your posse can definitely rip gs turns in blue angel/flying v formation if that's your thing. Does make Mitt not seem so much like Siberia, for better or worse.
Compared to last year, it's nice just having terrain open. Some bare spots and glare on the open terrain.....and 40' whales on unopened Baron's.
Merry Xmas y'all

How was the snow? The wife and I are debating where to go tomorrow. Is it brick solid or is ungroomed skiable?
