Fine with me if correct, all 6 of those have skied awesome for almost a month now so until the temp rises above freezing, snowmaking guns running are just terrain to avoid in my opinion. I’m not really worried about any of those for the last weeks of the season either.

Year but it would be nice to ski them the last 2 weeks of the season when the front is mashed potatos and they are skiing great right now but will not last Just my favorite route to bomb to the bottom, light ski traffic.

Quick plug: Myself and a few operators will talk a little about the mountain and answer your questions over the next month. Saturdays at 12, Tuesdays at 11, Fridays at 1, Peabody Deck. Starting tomorrow, we'll do it live.

This is about the awesome, inspiring people behind the scenes who make it happen for us all. Feel free to stop by!

So I was at Cannon today, first time this season in fact, and I was a little surprised by the huge snowmaking whales all over the lower mountain. Curious what the plan is there.

Our goal in November, as long as I'm here, will be top to bottom skiing as early as possible. This year, temps stayed marginal down low the entire month and we didn't see a customary inversion. We focused production up top, following temps.

Rock Garden, Lower Cannon and Gremlin specifically had less snow than usual. High traffic routes; get scraped off quick; subject to major loss during warm ups. About a week ago our awesome park cat operator started his Tossup Park project, so we greenlit scraping from Lower Cannon (skier's left) to Tossup side (skier's right). A few events coming up on these trails, too.

We knew we'd need to fatten them up at some point, to make it through the season.

no question, just I appreciate the multiple updates on the ski report each day, please thank the snow reporter for me. That (and the webcam) really is helpful for condition info.

Skylight and Paulie's have been great additions as natural trails. I am glad that they didn't make snow on them this season. There are many who ski at cannon regularly who agree as well

A groom on the natty trails for compaction will go a long way when it warms.

Mountain and club have done a great job hosting u18 national qualifier last several days. Cannon/mittersill has a unique setup to host major events with minimal impact on the paying customer.

One piece of constructive criticism: I have continually encountered customers stuck at mittersill last several days. The route back to cannon is not obvious for the casual skier when barons is closed for an event. Signage at the top of the double would improve the customer experience.

Except for all the racers using the main mountain for training. U16 boys group decided Profile was a good run to practice GS turns across the whole width.

And I was the old guy on the lift shouting to them to go faster! (but I take the Profile trail the least of anything off the top mid-season, don’t think I’ve skied it at all in the last week or so)

It is my least favorite as well.

Really. Middle Cannon has to be the worse.

True I was thinking just the top. I hate big link more than middle cannon most days. Whole area is a necessary evil.

A warm spring day is the time I like profile. Im still mad they took out the tbars and cut that swath. Such a wasted opportunity imo.
