Mittersill backside?

Can anyone shed some light on this trail that seems to diverge west off of the Mittersill Access Trail at Cannon? Is it a hiking trail? Seems very open near the top . . .

That's the Tuckerbrook Trail.

Tuckerbrook. Not up on your ski history, clearly.

You're not going to want to hit that without a knowledgable buddy and two cars. Ask around next time you're at Cannon and maybe someone will take you.


Edit- or you can just hike up it like Snowmonster.

Or ski down it and skin back up. No need for two cars.

you used to be able to tell a liftie that you needed to get in touch with ski patrol 63 and a van would pick you up... but that was 15 years ago...

Some history on it: http://www.newenglandskihistory.com/cccskitrails/NewHampshire/cannonmtn.php#tuckerbrookskitrail

If there's enough snow and you know where to go, you can bail off the trail before the flats and get back to the Mittersill base, though there is a water crossing to deal with.

Yes, and hence the question to this forum. Thanks for the 'tude Gnar, feeling smugly superior now?

Meadowbrook.Some pretty cool drops in there when its very frozen and snowy.

Ouch.

It is easy to forget that we all start with no ski history and learning it is part of the fun.

Not sure if you're being funny, but I had no clue about Tuckerbrook either. FYI even though Cannon does have the ski museum, it is not for most people the center of the skiing universe. Also, I would bet that at one point in time you had to ask somebody about it or were told about it in passing. It's better that he asked then go it alone or without knowledge.

Pretty mellow and hard to get lost. Decent glades on the sides. Fun. Drop a car.
