nice. unless burke opens earlier than usual, i'll probably be there.

That would be frickin' sweet....
I'm anticipating a December opening for Burke, partially considering that they DON'T have the new quad done yet...

bearing in mind they don't need the sherburne quad open to open the mountain, i would be interested to see if burke tries to open sooner than usual to capitolize on the buzz. as always, depends on the weather. but weather pending, i would guess 12-3 or 12-10 for an opening day.
regardless, it's good to see cannon planning to open a week sooner than last year! :beer:

I might be there, it depends on whether i will be alouded to take the car and go by myself (there is no way my dad will go skiing with under 75% of the trails open)

I have coupons (for my club) for $25 Cannon tickets good anytime through 12/24. I probably won't use them all, so write me privately and I will send you one if you mail me a SASE.

Re: $25
Thanks for the offer I may take you up on a coupon but i won't be using it on the 25th as we are hosting Thanksgiving on Friday the 25th so I can ski at K on Thanksgiving.

Not looking so good for the 25th at Cannon, nothing written in stone yet though.
Gonna fire up the guns on Saturday 11/19!

from an email i received today from cannon:
written in stone as much as can be for this time of year. with colder temps and snow moving in, i'd say it's likely gonna be a go.

Hey whatever, as they say, don't shoot the messenger. I've been counting down the days and minutes til opening day since April 11th!
Weather as of late and snow in the forecast makes this look good. Very good. I'm there on Friday if they open, part of Saturday, and maybe Sunday. :beer: PM to join in on the fun.

Sometimes it's not just temps and weather;
Sometimes there are other considerations, like equipment and machinery, ya know?

epic indeed, I might try to get up there for that day, especially if we do end up with fresh snow!!
Hopefully, they'll get an icy base to cover things tuesday, and then freshies thursday, creating the dec 4th conditions of last year

It looks like it's official, Cannon will not be opening until Friday, December 2nd.

Where did you get that information? Their website still indicates that they're shooting for the 25th??

i think zowi might be referring to the latest news on cannon's homepage:
though it is not official, saying opening day is in doubt three days away does not bode well. i don't understand this at all. cannon is going to pick up a decent amount of snow in the next 48+ hours and snow making temps will be adequet for covering mid- to lower ravine per the normal opening procedure. cannon has generally had a rather reserved snow making push since i have been skiing there but this is the pits if they can't make their opening day. pending i see snow on cannon's slopes driving through the notch on thanksgiving, i might be up there on friday for earned turns any ways if the don't open. i suspect the summit could do quite well with this storm, hopefully the lower slopes will do like wise.
