I'll be up at Cannon Saturday.....might be a good day for a ski off. Possible triathlon involving keg stands at the zoomer bar, dizzy bat relay, and Chinese downhill...in that order

What will the route be for the ski off? Oh right, nevermind, there aren't really any choices.

In Cannon's defense, they're still working out the newbie bugs. I expect them to hit their stride next year once they reach the confidence of 77 years of operation. Can't expect too much from them till then.

On Sunday it looks like Cannon's best terrain offering will be a bar stool at the Woodstock Brewery.

Appears that will be the case for everyone!

I have some of that winter goose in my fridge. If I see you before I pour it down the drain, it's yours!

Damn it! Well I guess if I have enough Jim and other stuff it won't be too bad.

Harrdy harr harrrrr.

Seriously though, pray for snow. The lack thereof isn't just hurting Cannon, but the whole North Country economy. Sweet baby cheezus NO MORE RAIN!!

Snow report says they're making snow on Mitersill this morning. This hasn't happened in a while.

Interesting - the trails they opened up last week (Vistaway, Tramline, Goat Path) are now closed and they are moving on to Mittersill and touching up what they have had open their entire season. That Mittersill move is for racing but it sounds nice to be able to say they have Mittersill open and adding another lift to the numbers. By having Baron's open then Gary's will be available for public use. My guess in any case.

Interesting wording for Mondays conditions

We're scheduled to open at 9am with 5 lifts & 28 trails, but all open terrain is subject to Patrol inspection and some trails may open late or not at all. Groomers hit most open terrain overnight - expect mostly frozen granular/variable surface conditions today. Snow surfaces have firmed-up with the dropping mercury, so please stay on groomed trails this morning.

Garys is always available for the public.Maybe once a year there is a major race and it will have limited access.

Last year was our first as season pass holders and it was more than just once a year.

It is definitely more than once. And throw Missing link, Middle Ravine and Thruway for the weekend races in Feb.

FSC trains on Garys quite frequently but the public still has access.There are only a few races that close the trail to the public.

Yes agreed. More than once though.

They just posted these pics....some may want to shield their eyes....

Say what you want, but that first pic shows a great trail to ski IMHO even after the work.

I think Barons will be the best ripper on the entire hill. If you like to go fast this will be the run.

deadheadskier · Jan 11, 2016

^ I bitch about the changes at Mittersill, but you're probably right about Barons.

Lets face it,without snowmaking there would be no skiing at Mittersill in the forseeable future.If snow does finally fall deep enough most of Mittersill still has all its "natural" side country play areas.
