Cannon 12-30-07

[Angus]

We had a great day today at Cannon. Foggy early but had burned off by 11 o'clock.

Conditions: Loose granular, machine groomed, natrual snow that was frozen.

Banshee Glade: thin cover in many areas but OK, later found out that it was closed but someone had cut the rope.

Jasper's hideaway: Machine Groomed, we only skied it when we were going to the tram.

Banshee Lift Line: Ungroomed so it had a icy crust And I almost crashed into a tree on it.

Avalanche: did not ski but looked fine with lots of loose snow.

Zoomer: Very good, nicely groomed in middle with fairly good bumps on edges.

Rocket: Good moguls off to side.

Gary's: Racing.

Time zone: Skied second to last run of the day. Average snow, nothing special.

Lower cannon, Parkway, and gremlin: Too crowded to ski a lot so we tried to avoid'em.

Lower Ravine: Very thin cover.

Missing link, lower Ravine: Fine, just packed snow.

Middle Cannon: Very nice little powdery moguls forming by the end of the day.

Upper Cannon: icccccccccccccccy.

Vista way: TRAIL OF THE DAY, very soft moguls with just the right amount of snow, a liitle thin.

Skylight: Groomed fine.

Upper Ravine: Icy.

All in all a great day and with 1' of new snow Tuesday it may survive the warmup.

I was there too. The condition on the upper mountain were very nice. Profile was the run of the day with the wind blowing the loose soft snow off leaving a firm but very edgeable surface. The place was a mad house and I left at 11 after crashing hard on Bypass and hurting my back and ribs. Too crowded to ski IMO.

I thought if you stayed on the Zoomer, cannonball, and tram it was fine.
