Weird shit has been going on the last month. And don’t blame the new guy. He is not here yet.
Jace Wirth was announced as the new GM on 2/22. 6 weeks later he has not shown up? BS I blame him.

You have no idea what his actual start date is.

the article states "Wirth is expected to begin at Cannon in mid-March." By announcing the new GM on 2/22 and him not showing up now 6 weeks later basically sets up the acting GM as a lame duck. As the saying goes when the cats away the mice will play. Based on the vast number of employees I have seen skiing over the last month it's easy to see why weird shit has happened there recently.

By the way he is supposed to start Monday 4/08th. "Hi I am here to shut this place down:):)"

The early closing came from Concord. The reason being that they are bleeding money this year. Miss JD.

Ok this was what I suspected. It's a bummer but that's the downfall to being state run. It seems like whoever made that decision is completely out of touch though

It's not like a full boat cannon pass is exactly a bargain. That's some vail bait and switch bullshit...except wildcats going for all of next week and the following weekend. I'm pretty reluctant to reup I might watch from the sidelines next winter

Right where I want to be
Skiing was really good today. The lifts were another story. No peabody/mittersil to start they had the tram going. Then cannonball went down. But at that point mittersill was up so went over there. Then cannonball and Peabody came online.

New Hampshire ski revenue was 4% lower year over year. X- Country was off 12%. The person who came up with this blames the weather. Nothing to do with high gas prices or expensive lodging. Others believe some are spending all their money on weed and think they're skiing. :cautious: Still others blame inconsistent pricing and confusing rewards.
Let's face it some folks do not like to ski on ice and dirt? :unsure:

Cannon expands to other places. Becomes largest ski area in Franconia Notch. Ticket prices TBD.

On the Mt. Washington Webcams the Cannon Cam is now pointed at the saddle and Taft trail. Just when you think you've seen it all. 🐈

So far we have had the Space Ace and now the God of Thunder, why no love for the Cat Man Peter Criss ? Meow.
