Cannon Lover's Thread

[Jully]

Any resort has safety issues. Sugarloaf had an entire chairlift come off the line and there have been complaints this year that Boyne is overlooking safety issues at SL. This same event could have happened at any resort, the fact that Canon is state run has nothing to do with it.

There are two sides to every story. I would hope Cannon would help this woman out with her losses. I am very surprised that the school has done nothing given the situation like offer her the smelter to be repeated.

I know one or two people at the Herald and Globe. I can send an email over but they would obviously need more details. If your interested just shoot me a PM with an email address and they can speak directly to you.

Repeating a semester next fall doesn't account for the loss of graduation, starting a nursing career, or cover the loss of last falls fees. Why should my school have to eat those costs? It wasn't their fault. It absolutely should be paid by state of nh workers comp.

I understand but they can not matriculate you if you did not complete the requirements. It sucks, but things happen. What if you had gotten sick or had sudden disease? I know schools have helped students out when the circumstances were extenuating. Have you talked with the school and asked for some type of assistance on repeating the semester at no cost? I agree the insurance should covered it.

This sounds like a terrible situation. I wish Stephanie the best of luck in her recovery and hope Cannon makes it right. This seems like a scummy move on their part.

I don't agree with taking Cannon away from the public. Mismanagement, safety issues-those can happen under private lease as well. Fix what's broken, don't just give away your toys.

This argument is getting a bit old. Does Cannon belong to "me" because I pay taxes in NH? No. I still have to pay to play there and abide the their rules. It's marginally less expensive to ski there as a NH resident (only real discount is NH res Wednesdays and they don't even run the tram unless it's vacation week in MA) but not significantly so much that I can't afford to ski somewhere else.

Bottom line - I don't care who runs it. As along as it doesn't run me over.

^^^ Looks great! If it softens a bit and sun comes out on Saturday with the warming temps it will be incredible.

Anyone skied there this week? Just got home from Montana and have been out of the loop on conditions, is the tuckerbrook trail down to the street still in good shape? Thanks!

I've skied there a few days this week. Coverage everywhere is still fantastic. You won't have problems with lack of base. But yesterday got into the upper 30s with lots of sun. Today is ~15 with heavy overcast and wind. Although I'm not on the hill right now I can guarantee it is FIRM. Either a warm up or new coverage would be needed to make things really enjoyable.

I was up on Sunday and everything was good then. I did not go down Tuckerbrook but the skied by the entrance and it looked fine. I doubt there was much melt yesterday to hurt it.

Wonder if Tramline will still be open Saturday and if it will be worth skiing. Never done it

 

[Farleyman]

Thanks for the heads up guys! I'm taking my mom and dad there for the first time Saturday. Hopefully the sun on Friday softens it up for them. They live 10 miles from cannon and only ski bwoods. It boggles my mind because they are good skiers!

It's continued to be in good shape. Fresh snow on it obviously makes it more fun. But honestly, it's current state is probably easier to ski since nothing is hidden. You can actually see the rocks you need to avoid. I expect that it would be open Saturday in less it's really cold and iced up.

Maybe they are afraid of ice chunks falling on their heads, unmaintained ramps, and barely functioning lifts?

If things got soft and then refroze then you may be out of luck!

Mostly because all they can see is the front 5 when they drive by, and they were there when I had an altercation with a disgruntled local. They don't like massholes poaching their goods

That looks like a boring Zoomer pic - with it groomed flat down the middle. Ok so there are still bumps on the side so everyone is happy!
