Not to seem flip or anything, but if you have not skied the mountain, let alone the trail, it seems weird you would comment in such a manner. But to add to the other explanations, this is not your typical New England lift line trail. The Cannonball Quad ascends low over the looker's left side of the trail, close to the trees. The chair ascends so low as to prohibit skiing under the chair, not that it doesn't get poached on the other side of the snow making equipment on a regular basis. The remainder of the "trail" is an ultra wide, straight down the fall line swath the forms a wide open wind tunnel. Due to a variety of factors but most especially lack of wind protection on an extremely exposed section of the upper mountain, conditions are generally boiler plate. Often times the trail gets roped because it becomes unskiable at times. Previously, before my time skiing Cannon, there was only a double T-Bar line ascending this section of the mountain. Cannon could simply have widened the trail to perhaps 30 feet wide and replaced the T-Bar with the chair. Instead, they plowed open Profile, the widest and most wind exposed trail on the mountain... on a mountain that has many wide open wind exposed runs, Profile is the worst offender.
