Conditions wet packed machine groomed snow

Thankx to Zowi420, my clan and I made the short trip to Cannon. Last night it was really raining hard. We got up a little concerned if we should go. I got everyone going. We arrived at 8.50 to pretty much empty parking lot. It was very foggy out, but warm.

We started out on the Peabody express and headed up. We then got on the cannon ball express and came down profile. the snow was soft, but not a problem.
Coverage was good the trail seemed to have snow made on it recently.
We skied Middle Ravine and Gremlin a few times as well as upper and middle cannon. Conditions got a bit mushy as the day went on. We did pop over and ride the tram once. 4 other people with us on the ride. Tramway was a great run. My favorite run was rocket. I love the view of the lake and and the snow was great.

There were times we could not see 2 feet infront of us. Rain was off and on. We left early cause were we were wet, but no crowds great snow and just fun to be out on a Monday. The Rainbows were the best at one point it was pouring the sun was out and we had 2 rainbows.

Sounds like they are in full swing, now. I hope there's more snow in the next week. A big dump would be a godsend. I'll be up there in January.
