That makes more sense as 6-8 minutes down is a long time to get down. That said, 2.5 minutes including the walk down the steps is pretty aggressive!

I've only tried it once. I had to slow down three times because there were people in front of me. As I arrived at the lower station, the tram was just starting to pull away; missed it by about 10 seconds.

Pretty killer day at Cannon today. Visibility was tough due to a wet goggle glazing fog, but the trees were killer from the 6" of fresh they picked up last night into the morning. Probably 98% of terrain still skiable. Hit most all of the upper mountain glades, spent some time over on Mittersill and finished off the day with a phenomenal run down Kinsman.

The BAD:

Some fat, power tripping turd Cannon employee shut down the Zoomer bar for the day!!!!

And...

Grown men can't eat hot dogs at the bar. We were asked to think of the hungry children.

What a day. One of my best all season. Super sneaky powder day up high. Cannon delivered the goods today for sure.
Always a blast with the Cannon crew, thanks boys!

Awesome day. SkiLogik's would have been the ski for trees. Legs are tired. And knees sore. That role in foreground means nothing.

yah - Cannon was REALLY sweet today, as long as you stayed on the narrow/windy terrain and away from the vast expanses of wind-blown ice :)

Mittersill was a fav for me today b/c nobody was there :)

It was a heavier set guy with a goatee driving a blue Cannon pickup.

So he stopped you guys from drinking?Last year we were drinking in our usual pod when the chief of Franconia came walking over.We sort of put our beers out of view and he says "you guys dont have to hide those".He said there is no law against drinking there.He proceeded to shoot the crap with us for 1/2 and hour.Great guy

He drove by in the truck on the way to the park building at base of Zoomer. Stared at us driving by and when he got out started yelling at us that "Those better not be beer cans" and went on to say that it's illegal to drink alcohol on SP property and also is against their liquor license. Apparently this was the only time there has ever been an issue.
