Cannon Lover's Thread

[Cannonball]

I'll repost this pic from last year as an example. This was an unmarked trail last season. It was so tight that we couldn't find the line down and literally had to crawl up and out on our hands and knees. This year it's on the trail map with virtually no additional clearing.

That's Puck it. Can't tell if he's crawling on on he's knees or praying for a swift end to his misery....

I don't really consider Kinsman a fall you die type trail.

Unless you hit your head on tree. Did someone say it is?

This makes me feel a little better about myself.

So, someone give me a ranking of marked Cannon glades, easiest>hardest.

I might miss some, and some ranking are debatable because sections and conditions vary. And I'm ignoring ones added this year since I'm still mourning. (although I tossed in Creek since you mentioned it).

- All glades in Tuckerbrook learning area
- Turnpike
- Banshee
- Snowmakers
- Lake View
- Echo
- Lost Boys
- Global Warming
- Mushroom
- Go Green
- Creek
- Kinsman

It's called an exaggeration

Just ask John! Cannonball is my assistant.

OK That is good to know!

 

[HouseQuinn]

Sweet, thanks man. Nice to get some perspective.

I didn't think you were exaggerating. You didn't say "you fall you die", you said "might send someone to their death". Death doesn't have to come from falling. I've seen plenty of people in Kinsman gasping like their heart was about to explode. Also, I've seen many husbands and boyfriends nearly murdered in Kinsman for convincing partners that "You'll love it!!".

That picture brings back nightmares. Last year I thought I found the entrance to Gunsight but it turned out to be some path that some snow-shoers had made. 45 minutes to an hour later after crawling back out in chest high snow I finally made it back to Vista Way.

You can't get there from there.

Haha, that's what I get for listening to some idiot on the lift. I'll wait for someone to actually show me before I try something like that again.

Are we not counting those Mittersill down towards cannon glades. Go stuck and had to track out last week

Sometimes chasing powder over there next thing you know tight trees and trekking out.

 

[redwinger]

What do you think is tougher, Kinsman or Tramline?

 

[Edd]

I skied Kinsman once and it was a lot of work for me. A couple pics from a TR I posted years ago:






Edit: actually, I'm posting a TR from there I did in 2009. I used to be so much better with TRs and skiing alone but I've become quite the pansy in recent years.

That could've been me! How's the cover in the Kinsman or any glade at Cannon these days?
