Cannon Lover's Thread

[jcw]

Groom the natty trails, it will get thru a couple warm spells. Jace?

Did Upper Hard last week. Snow tonight, stuff still soft. Let's not take the dog out of the hill until we need to...

I'm watching closely.

Trail counts increase and snowmaking trail counts decrease and has not occurred on quite a few in the last 5+- years or since electricity costs have gone up,pipes broken or just real bad snow years requiring a lot of resurfacing of main routes.

Moose Alley last 5 + years only recall snow made first few years Tucker brook quad went in
Banshee, Banshee cut through ride around etc. Jaspers ? just this year with no tram, lot of area at bottom of Banshee / Avalanche Tram cutback over to the tram base
Paulies several years now
Skylight
Bypass most years always turns into a ice sheet anyway no matter how much snow is made on it
Short Fuse
Lower hardscrable
Turnpike Upper and Lower
Blue Ball
Wonder how many acres this is ?
Got to be real this has been a great year,they have all skied great,but one melt down and most could be gone very quickly.
But to be fair Lower Flietman has been added more recently.

Wait a minute did you used to have a different profile name? threecy?

I’m surprised that out of all trails Mittersill lift line is still marked as one it feels like out of all trails split that ones has the most distinct upper and lower half, especially since I have seen one half open but not the other more times than I have with other split trails such as Turnpike or Red ball, both of which are split on the mountains trail report.

I do believe Stowe holds the record for overnight trail count inflation in the East anyway.

I admired they stuck on 48 (IIRC) for as long as they did since most of the NE big resorts had already upped theirs, but yes, I agree, when Stowe did it it was the most jarring to me also. It literally was overnight without anything new for expansion.

What a day yesterday! Cannon shines under these conditions. Two funny things from the day, I finally successfully returned to the Zoomer lift from Kinesman without walking/pushing/skating (don’t want to “out the person” who gave me the detailed directions, but thanks for the info), but more surprising was someone is trying to rename Obvious…there were handmade signs along the access route that said “Devils Ballsack” but I have a feeling they won’t be successful in changing the name to that (and worse, unlike a lot of homemade signs that I’ve seen in woods that no-one tampers with, I have a feeling some regular will pull these out of the trees).

You are welcome to buy me a few rounds in the cannonball if you feel the compelling need to do your part.

Burning my 2nd indy day this season and while no one up here got any of that storm the place is still skiing fantastic. Mittersill is extra fun right now imo. Tomorrow's little refresh os gonna bring everything back to prime.

Barons appears to have an absurd amount of snow down. The base all over is so healthy this spring should be special ill be picking up my pass next week. What the fuck was I thinking taking a year off from this place?

 

[Dezzy]

. What the fuck was I thinking taking a year off from this place?

Ha, a mistake I won’t make. Five or six years ago I decided I’ll never stop getting a Cannon pass unless they do something I really dislike and I don’t see that happening. Looking forward to tomorrow! Hope we make the effort to get over to Mitty but there hasn’t been enough time in the day my last few visits.

 

[Dezzy]

We failed Wedn on getting to Mitty (by the time one of us mentioned it on the lift it was already relatively too late), I was solo yesterday so went over mid-morning, there are some places scraped down to ice and rock on steep sections but it was really nice overall. What a great February for skiing Cannon. If you are on the fence on deciding between skiing here or somewhere else, I recommend visiting, at the end of the day I was spooning my own tracks from the Wedn snow, and the steep stuff is still fun.

 

[machski]

Anyone ski Cannon 3/1 and have a report on how the snow was after Saturday?

 

[thebigo]

Skied cannon Saturday and loon today, daughter skied cannon today. What do you need to know?

Cannon is in general better shape than loon. U18 nationals is at mittersill all week, will be busy.

Edit: daughter said top was good not scraped off

Cannon skied great yesterday. There were NO crowds, and everything was in good shape. Middle Cannon and Middle Ravine got really wind-swept and icy on Saturday (2/28) with big crowds made worse by wind holds on the upper mountain lifts, but they recovered nicely for Sunday. They even got a light dusting of snow which was a pleasant surprise.

Perfect, thanks. Planning to hit Cannon tomorrow.

 

[ceo]

Yeah, Cannon was heinously windy Saturday. Cannonball was on hold for most of the day, and a miserable experience when it wasn't. A sheave on tower 2 of Peabody was making a lot of noise all day, and they closed it for a while in midafternoon to fix it.
