Cannon Lover's Thread

[Puck it]

Yup, good day today. Mid-winter conditions.

However, I can't figure out why Middle Hardscrabble was closed (at around 1:30 or so). Everything else was skiing sweet.

Rub it in. Scratched cornea and all. Went to bed and not seeing well but woke up fine. Crap!

Bummer - we did not ski. My family is getting burned out. We were there for bobefest and the lines were never an issue. We went out in three different sessions with different weather each time. The last session around 1:30 was the best in terms of firmness but was cold because all our gear got wet earlier in the day. Did run into Puck it, JDROMA, xwhaler, Cannonball and his wife but never got to make runs with them - another bummer. Sorry if I missed someone. Really wish I was there today.

We were getting dressed and ready to head up there at 7:30 on Sunday, when my son said that he did not want to ski - WHAT? All he could think of was how hard every thing got by 3 PM Saturday and was not up for it. My wife jumped on his band wagon. Then I read today's posts and was crushed. Showed the pics to my son and he was bummed out, stating that he did not know it was supposed to snow more.

It was unexpected. I was thinking the same as your son. Based on the forecast my plan was to wait until mid afternoon and hopefully catch some sun and corn. Woke up at 7 and it was puking. Rushed to get out the door for opening. Just one of those things.

I'm in the air right now between Cannon and Wildcat on Saturday. Sounds like Cannon has gotten more snow recently

...As I think to myself "Is there any way I could convince any of my family to go ski Sunday"...

I don't even try to. I just go. Makes I so much easier.
