The appeal for me is it has great pitch for cruising, solid continuous vertical and it's by far the least crowded of the ski 93 areas. It's probably less crowded than even Ragged these days. I'll drive straight to Cannon and not even think about WV when natural terrain is available, but IMO Waterville is a better mountain for ripping groomed terrain than Cannon. When that's the type of conditions available I like large vertical lifts and Cannon really doesn't have that except the Tram. Loon is probably the best of the three for that kind of skiing, but way too crowded.
