I took a lesson there once with Chuck, who I thought was pretty good. You could PM Liquidfeet, a member here who's familiar with the Cannon instructors.

First: You lose points for supporting that crap site with your click.
But...it is unacceptable. Weather is weather but WTF?!? Here's an idea Cannon: stop blasting your customers in the face with your rain guns. Move them over to closed terrain so that you might have something else to open tomorrow. Even if you can't expand terrain at least you can shift it over to something that hasn't been beat up yet. Cannon must have a partnership with Grunden's rain wear considering the garbage they pour out of their guns.
Just another day at the Peabody Base....

The gun at the top of Eagle Cliff was blasting water droplets right near the ramp. I wanted to go over and turn it off.First: You lose points for supporting that crap site with your click.

That makes perfect sense in a Government run orginization . And a raise to boot I bet !
Pretty certain the accident happened at the bottom terminal, not the top and the injured girl likely wouldn't appreciate people joking about the situation. Just saying.....

You're making it about one incident, when it's actually an everyday absurd practice. (Does that still count as an "accident"?)

Wasn't meant to be construed as a joke but intended as sarcasm . I know it happened at the base , Bad decision making seems to continue!

i thought you meant when they aim the guns at the Zoomer chair and it iced a chair with 6" of ice and delayed. Completely different incident.

I just looked at the report this morning. Why are they saying experts only for riding on Upper Cannon? Isn't that an intermediate trail? Also, the report says something about taking a shuttle to the tram to access that trail and maybe they will open the Cannonball lift. That seems really odd to me that people are gong to get on a shuttle to take a run down a single trail. Maybe that is the way these always do it.

Experts only becuase the guns will coat your goggles with ice and seeing will be an option. Thus experts only.
What's wrong with Cannonball chair?

Probably need to move snow to the load ramp and patrol needs to check the triple black diamond ramp at the top.

I have heard the new compressor that FSC bought for the mountain is not functioning properly. They can't generate enough PSi without it to properly make snow. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?
