I will give you props for being persistent, as you've posted the same thing over on Epic. Nobody is going to post directions to a backcountry line on the internet -- i.e., somebody spent a whole lot of time making it, they don't want just anybody skiing it.

There are probably several people on this forum that know the location of Gunsight and many other runs over on Mittersill. Post "going skiing at Cannon on ..." posts and somebody might show you where the goods are, depending on various things (i.e., snow conditions, your ability, if you're buying the beer after, etc.)

How do i get to it?
Wow so many gate keepers on this site, you guys think you are soooo cool. Here is how you get to gunsight. Found this on Facebook and made an account here just to reply to you.

Skied Gunsight on Cannon on Sunday. 6 inches of fresh snow and first tracks, hard to say no. For those unfamiliar with this unmarked, locals only known route, starts on the ski trail Vista Way, hooks up with the Kinsman Ridge Trail which is followed down. Then veers off to the Cannon and Old Man platform, descends along Cannon's face before rejoining the KRT near the old ski jump and ends at the trailhead in the Tram parking lot. Saw a few cars in the lot, you probably saw us on skis
