Right where I want to be
The thaw/freeze cycle was no friend of Cannon yesterday. Top of the mtn was okay until 11 then became like the rest of the mtn a scraped off mess. Not a seat to be found in the lodge/pub. No lines at all except in cafe and trying to get into the pub. Skied until 2:30 then went to the Woodstock brewery.

Well I guess that is about to change today!

Well maybe. I don't know much about the Cannonball wind exposure, but the winds are switching directions when the storm exits. West winds tomorrow but southeast winds today. Not sure if that wind direction matters much for the lift though...

Cannonball lift will more than likely not be operating. West winds would be across the face of Cannon. By more than likely Zoomer, Peabody, Eagle Cliff and Tuckerbook lifts will run. Even those at Mittersill if open yet. There will be plenty to ski and the trees will probably offer the best skiing.

8am update - Patrol just dropped ropes on Upper & Middle Hardscrabble, and Global Warming, Go Green Glade and Kinsman Glades. More to come.

This is a good sign the mountain picked up more than surrounding areas. Only about 5" at my house, snow report states 12-14".
