Cannon Lover's Thread

Web cam shot at the top of cannonball quad does not make it look appealing today though. Whats up with Mittersill been closed all week ?

We've been waiting for a colder temperature window to repair the surfaces. Plus, it's an adventure operating on steep terrain with warm, waterlogged snow. Mittersill will reopen tomorrow.

We're taking the day today to assess the mountain as the temps drop off a cliff here in a few hours, start work. Will likely take us two nights to get it all back up to speed, but the weather is favorable and it's setting up to be an awesome weekend.

wow - today exceeded all expectations:

Agree, we were there. Other than a little upper mnt fog early this had to be one of my best days of the season.

Could be another sneaker snow day Thursday morning, though it should warm up quite a bit vs today.

Cannon tomorrow, initially also planned Thursday but may change to Sugarloaf (chasing the best weather)

I was at sugarloaf today and it was really really nice skiing for sure

Sadly drove by heading to Littleton today. Place looked full on winter trail conditions.

It was really good today, tomorrow is day #100, considered SL but too lazy to drive, SR but spent last week there, loon is a local option but may just celebrate at cannon after today.

Saturday is 80s day at cannon, usually pulls a crowd. I would probably boot up at mittersill if day tripping, FSC is running a family dual on taft but the double never has a line.

rooms in lincoln look pretty cheap too. could do cannon>loon or waterville for the whole weekend pretty easy. under $200 for a few of the older motels. low 200s for some midrange places including a loon condo w kitchen.

The refreeze Friday/Saturday has me a little concerned.

I haven’t been in years, and my regular Cannon buddy has been wanting me to ski with him there (his favorite Mt in NE)…a decision to worry about late tomorrow!

Cannon was fantastic yesterday. We didn't think the glades would be in decent shape and it appears we were wrong, but it was still an awesome day. Got there late and still got first tracks in lots of places, including the unplowed parking lot.

The Cannon Effect surprised us. Last two weeks have been a wild ride.
