^^^ Thank you for posting.

Looks like another widening of the Saddle and pipes on the Saddle. Strange.

Why add snowmaking to the saddle? Designation of the only uphill Alpine trail in New England with snowmaking? :Lol:

Those pipes on the saddle are a mystery.They are old pipes but cant imagine where they came from.I see a pic of pipe on lower Cannon but this is a head scratcher.

They said they were replacing some piping this year also. Here is a thought. Those pipes look like they are decent length to. Could they be putting in snowmaking on Taft. They could be staged there to be dragged up and put into place on Taft. When they blow on Taft they have to drag hoses thru the woods from Upper Ravine.

That's pipe on the saddle. I have to assume it only there for storage.

I don't think the saddle is widened. I think it's only cat tracks from towing and dropping pipe. However looks like some type of action going on on Taft. Looks like the regraded it or something. Head scratcher.

Since they make snow on Taft anyway it is possible lines are being installed there. Distance to Ravine gets lengthy at spots from what I have seen, lotta hose. Easiest to weld on flatter spot ie Saddle and then skid to final location.

See above. You just stated what I said already.:dunce:

 

[Newpylong]

oops.

 

[Puck it]

oops.

Just cant tell if the regrading is between the ravine and upper entrance or after upper entrance.

Going to drop below freezing @mtn this weekend. I bet K and SR and maybe a few others, "blow the mice out"

Anyone see the pics of the tram cannon put on their Facebook page? Could just be the picture but it appears they have done some clearing under the tram? Anyone been by there or know?

If your talking about this one the answer is no.Looks like this the last few years.

Things are making the transition to winter:

Mowing, we don't need no stinking mowin!

Where is the snow making! I know they have a hard opening. The way things are shaping up back east their 11/15 date might be a squeeze.
