Holy Christ....the guy bought season passes for Cannon & everyone's coming in their pants.

Get over yourselves.

Hope you're happy with your decision.

Just a conversation - you do not need to participate if you do not like PBR!

Sorry, I wasn't trying to lead you on. I'm sure there are websites out there that will give you the type of details you want. Not really my thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that...


Phew! What are the websites? :beer:

I just watched this video of skiing that trail. The end is a very long run out more or less ad the upper sections look nice. On a Topo the section right off Richard Taft Trail looks a little steep since the contour lines are relatively close together. On the video it looks good!

Just watched a few videos on youtube of people skiing DJ's Tramline, Kinsmans Glade and Mittersill - looked interesting! DJ's Tramline has some huge rocks that stick out of the snow (Sharks!) - definitely need coverage to ski that!

Skiing the full length of TB is a long run.The upper section (13 corners) is the steepest section but it switches back and forth between fall line and across falline making it not real difficult.It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to ski.There are a few spurs to get some pretty steep albeit short turns,one being what is called FLO (for locals only).

SIKSKIER's comments about TB are spot on (of course). Also worth noting, for your son's sake, that the bottom sections are ROUGH on a snowboard. I've done it many times and in all conditions and it's doable but not always fun. The runout merges with the Franconia Inn XC trail system. They groom those trails for XC. When it's firm those groomer trenches are hairy on a snowboard. Kinda like driving down railroad tracks!
