Resort or Ski Area: Cannon
Conditions: Powder, some widswept ice up top, clouded in up top and wicked windy
Trip Report: First trip of the season!!! What a day. Got in 6 hours of skiing. Never took the tram. Loved the superquad at the Peabody base area. Did some of the other lifts, buut that superquad got you way up the mountain and seldom had a line, and when it did, it moved right along.
They were blowing snow at the top of the steeps on the 93 side of Cannon. I did take Paules folley. That side was bumped up and steep. Nice soft bumps, with grass between the bumps.
As the day wore on, the upper elevations bared ice as the snow got scraped down. The bumps revealed lots of grass between them. I can't believe I am saying this, with the amount of snow we've alreay had: More snow base would be real nice!
Nice first day on (new Volkl AC3) skiis. They handled a bit different than what we had before (K-2 fours). Took a few runs to get used to them, then cut em loose.
Base lodge seemed roomy enough for the amount of skiiers there. I have certainly been to more crowded base lodges.
All in all, this seemed a nice mountain, with steeper trails than we are used to, but there are many trails right up our alley also. The clouds socking us in were a bit of a bummer, and we effectively skiied about half the mountain. Good fun!!!!
