Do any other ski areas have this policy like Cannon?
Saw this on their website:

The use of Drones for photography or other use at Cannon Mountain is prohibited. The airspace above Cannon is protected, and authorization must be obtained prior to operating a drone over/around Cannon Mountain.

This could happen!!!!!

Ducking ropes or cartwheeling over snow snakes? Maybe it picked up 4 grown men riding the Tuckerbrook quad in search of the elusive Bobcat...

I think this is might be the entrnace.

What is with "Rock Garden" that is stretching this new trail idea. Blowing up some glades again too...Whats the point of having a larger numbers of trails? Pretty soon the streets will be running with latte:

The mountain manager JD has been getting slammed on FB these inflated trail numbers.Not so much for the trail numbers but for the marketing of these.He has responded but we are not buying the hype.Most of this week the ski report has been boasting about the most open trails in NH which is directly associated with these inflated trail counts.Yesterday the report actually said "We maintain the fact that we have the most open trails in NH.That's great but Cannon has 120 acres to Loons 222 and BW's 235.I believe only 1 new glade was cut but they advertise 8 new trails and glades.

BTW, I changing it from the Front 5 since everyone is complaining about it.

It is now the Front 7 just because it is more. I may have to contact the Cannon marketing deprtment about this. They shouldn't be selling themselves sort.

I should be there with wife unless she wants to go to Bretton Woods. She is a little intimidated by Cannon.

My wife will be there too. Maybe they can take a few runs while we do.

Regarding the front 5, I remember your comment about the front 6 or 7.

Going to be up in the Cannon/Bretton Woods area again this weekend. Should be great. Nobody mentioning that (according to Snocountry) that Cannon got 4-6 and Bretton 5-6 last night. A great way to finish off the 1st 1/3 of the season before the masses show up.
