Cannon 12/21/08

Powder day at Cannon. The website is reporting 11'', I would say 11'' was on the low side but it was tough to tell how much of that fell today. Trail of the day was vista, big soft bumps. The middle and lower mountain were wind scoured in places, specifically the bypass. The zoomer area was great on the sides but they blew massive whales that froze over in a number of places, not sure if this is standard for cannon. Also got into the trees for the first time today, the surface was a windblown 12''+ on top of frozen everything.

Sweet, haven't hit Vista Way yet this year, hopefully the wind won't be that bad in the morning.

Thanks for the report!
