But Bretton Woods is usually open until Patriots Day, right? There aren't too many areas still open at that point... Wildcat is probably the only one in NH that lasts longer, right?

Yeah Wildcat is the only one in NH that lasts longer. They have said that they shoot for patriots day in the past, but they've missed it the past few years I thought (except 2015) and closed more around/on Easter. I'm not ready to be done with skiing on Easter. By May I'm done usually.

Just confirmed from JD that the opening will be most likely Garys,Rocket,and Zoomer on the front 5 with lower Cannon/Time zone and maybe Gremlin with the Eagle Cliff and Zoomer lifts running.Probably not the Peabody till next week.I actually like this much better than the usual 1 way down from the Peabody on opening day.

That'll certainly spread out the traffic.

I said that a couple of years ago when they did it makes much more sense.

Agree.That was the only time I remember them starting that way.I believe they wanted to get the snow down low while the temps were good.I know the new pumphouse is not finished yet so I dont know if that had anything to do with getting to the top of the Peabody.

I like the trail selection much better but Having the slower triple and double open instead of the high speed quad is not optimal.

Even so,if they pull that off with really only starting to make snow yesterday,thats a huge improvement for Cannon.Expansion is usually painfully slow without big snowfall.

That's an understatement.

Yes......much better than everybody and their grandma funneling down Spookie!
My legs don't need high speed quads to start the wrod season.

I just reread this and that is a nice trail combo to have open for opening day. Better than anything else IMO. There is terrain for all types of skiers without having beginners skiing the same runs as advanced. I mean they can if they want but Zoomer being open is nice.

Anyone have an idea what opening day rates are? Folks at FSP and Guest Services haven't any idea.

Think my half-off vouchers will combine?

Doubt it! That would be cool. But being that it is a Friday after Thanksgiving and a lot of people have it off, i think it would get swamped.
