Cannon Lover's Thread

[deadheadskier]

Because what Cannon is ruining in my opinion was something unique.

I remember rivercoil being upset about the lift going in and predicting the demise of something special.

There's nothing unique or special about what they are creating at Mittersill.

I generally agree that seeing a mountain come off NELSAP, should be viewed positively. Mittersill is an exception to that.

Personally, I got to ski Mittersill for the first time last season and while I had a lot of fun skiing that area, my experience this year will probably not seem that different. There are two main areas effected - Barons and the middle section. There will still be a lot of goods over there. The greatest concern will be the potential for increased traffic.

It is very simple - if you don't like the changes then go ski Loon!

 

[deadheadskier]

Why go spend more money to ski Loon when I can now get the same experience skiing Barons?

There you go - now you are all set!

Why ski Barons when what you want is the 80% of Mittersill still the way it was a few years ago?

 

[deadheadskier]

It was a joke

A ski forum would be an awfully boring place if everyone constantly agreed with other members or the decisions of ski resort operators.

I don't understand that. Isn't it simple to dislike the changes and still ski Cannon?

I thought we were. When did we switch to Loon?

Nope!

J/K was being facetious! But wait .... maybe that is why you ski Loon, having trouble with change!

I thought that was your plan this year!

Don't Loon Cannon...!

If I Was a Cannon regular I would be more concerned with how all these changes are going to affect the rest of the operation during race events, I think there will be growing pains.

Race events are a PITA at every mountain. Entire runs get closed off and some cases multiple runs. I think with racing on Barons that will free up Gary's and will be an improvement on that side but add a boat load of traffic on the chair over on Mittersill. My concern will be cutting back through Tuckerbrook. In any case I hope it can be avoided.

I agree with this but there has never been any traffic on that chair up to this point. Will a crowd attract a crowd? Causing more traffic on the rest of Mittersil?

I am sure there will be skiers that are racing that will be tooling around that previously would have stayed around the front 5. As a result more skiers skiing Mittersill. That is my guess. Who knows?

 

[MEtoVTSkier]

Maybe it won't be so bad once they get the T-Bar installed.

 

[Puck it]

I still want to know how we get out of the Birches when there is a race on Baron's or will they shut them down. There are like three different entrances to the Birches.

New Map is up.

 

[Smellytele]

I like how on the right side they show trails but then draw through them with 2 names - Idiot's and Candyland and never really name the trails (that really aren't there anyway)

 

[Farleyman]

Is that mittersil or Shawnee peak?
