Really, really random question that I've been wondering for a while:
If you were to straight line down Taft, could you make it into Mittersill without hiking?

No, but you can get 1/4 maybe a little more safely and that saves a good part of the hike. If Taft was closed and you went full Tuna with fast conditions I wonder how far you could go?
I've recently wondered why would they cut a racing trail back then with such a long up hill section?

I will be at Cannon on Sunday to use my Plymouth WM voucher. Hope the top is still in good condition.
The challenge I encountered maintaining speed the few times I've been over the saddle is people bunching up at the entrance or not walking single file.

Any the bumps that form need the bottom of Taft kinda throw that for a loop too.

I always take a check run down Taft first and then wait up high and let it clear out before letting it go.

Do you recall how far you made it up? I've only tried to see how far I could go a couple of times. Once you get up a little boot tracks don't help and once you start to slow down you slow down fast.
This would be a great contest for the mountain to have. I think they groomed this before and a lot of people didn't like it. But, if they groomed it out and let people tuck half of Taft....probably too dangerous though.

Certainly tucked all of Taft many times heading up and over.As said before,about 1/4 of the way up is about it but you can keep it going a little further skating.

I saw on Facebook earlier that they referred to the "Cannon Cloud".
