Cannon Mt, Sat 23

[cannonist]

Conditions: PP

Trip Report: 71/72

Got to the tram lodge around 8:15, hopped on the first tram car. Started the day with some moguls on Vistas way, then moved onto the groomed Middle Cannon Bypass, then onto Avalanche (wintched), and ended on Jaspers Hideaway which had a foot of fresh powder on it . Did this a couple of times and then moved to the front five. After lunch, we decided to move to the top and maybe to our favorite Mittersill run. The top was in great shape! We carved down Taft and into Mittersill terrain. We were very displeased to find about fifteen other individuals hiking. When we reached Barrons we found that the trails were stripped clean from over usage. Im afraid the gem of Cannon has been publicized :angry: . Over all very good day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, it was about 20 and there wasn't a hint of wind. If it isn't a powder day I would take a day like we had at Cannon. Very nice.

We were very displeased to find about fifteen other individuals hiking.

They may likely have been thinking the same displeasure when they saw you. I have been hearing a lot of people grumbling about how many people are hiking to Mittersill. The numbers have been growing every year for many many years. To say that Cannon has publicized Mittersill is an understatement. It is on the trail map as officially opened terrain. We all need to look in the mirror before becoming disappointed with the number of people over there. We do not ski apart from the rest of the mountain. For those that have skied Mittersill long before it become very well known and "the thing to do", it is time to move on to greener pastures as Mittersill is already moving towards something unlike what we have come to expect and the changes only continue next year with a lift.

Well said.

It does suck but it is hard to stop progress.
