Six inches of snow and people lose their minds. Combination of hysteria and xmas vacation.

Combination of last season and the goods being there right now? Never know what January brings.

Everybody has the internet these days......i 93 corridor was predicted to be in the bull's eye days ahead (wound up being west of the meat, but still feastable.) Plus xmas..... hell, there were probably some people still waiting to use the gear they got for xmas 2015!

Franconia had almost no precipitation of any kind all day yesterday. Overnight was a mix of snow/slop, but better than I expected (I'm at 1,400 feet so may be better at higher elevation). This morning is downright nasty.

I have hiked Cannon and the surrounding mountains all my life but I have only skied it once. My dad always said that if you could ski Cannon you could ski anywhere.

I always thought this was true until a hard pack day in Sugarloaf snowfields.

It made me a better snowboarder for sure! Cannon can be absolutely brutal, but it's also the best/most fun around when conditions are good. I'm hearing that it's getting crowded lately, which is a bummer because the biggest factor for me is the smaller lines.

anyone ski cannon today? likely heading up tomorrow morning, wanted to see if they roped anything off after it firmed up the last couple of days.

I found holidays can be tough, then again it can be tough anywhere. Race days can be tough as well, however, that may change if races are held on the Mittersill side (not that anyone wants that either). Having skied there regularly for two seasons (does not make me an expert but....), those are the times where lines are an issue. other than that generally pretty good. The summit chair (Cannonball, should be Profile now right?) can be busy a lot.

This is probably the most crowded I've ever seen it at Cannon. The entire student body of PSU was there (one was an intern at the time where I work). Anyway - as crowded as it seemed there were no lift lines to speak of - maybe waited for two or three chairs at any given time. The tram was running I think but I never had to wait.
