Cannon & Loon

I wouldn't bother hiking Canon.

I heard the rain effed up what they had pretty good.

And whatever it didn't mess up is going to be a solid hunk of ice with the warm / rain / refreeze we've had / are having.

Good advice. I just passed by Cannon and the grass is back and the natural snow is gone. Good news: they're making snow from top to bottom of the Peabody Quad.

Also, Loon has pushed back its opening day to Friday 12/11.

Were did everyone end up going this weekend? I ended up at Okemo on Saturday for a few hours. It was fairly crowded, but a good day to open up the season with.

Was hoping to head to Saddleback but they are waiting until they get good top to bottom coverage. Gotta respect that. Looks like winter is coming.

Yea, i was going to go to mount snow but the held out for the same reason. Like you said though that is respectable. Okemo only had upper mountain skiing/riding but i was so eager to get out there i couldn't pass it up :p. Definetly felt like winter out there though, and according to the forecast it should stay that way for a while!!!

I skied at Sunday River today. The conditions were greatly improved from last Wednesday. Good to have the guns turning out snow all day. The crowd on Lower Punch was kind of a CF, but there were some good lines to be had. Will be heading back up on Thursday.

Probably Saddleback...According to their website, they're expecting "a major storm" for Wednesday. I hope they're right! From the sounds of it, the N/E most mountains (Saddleback, Sugarloaf) are the best chances for all snow...

Just a quick report. K was great on saturday! 4 inches of fresh stop and they even got mouse trap opened, "kinda anyway" half way through the day. The North Ridge triple line was a bit much at times but not bad. Was a good day. Gonna head back this weekend i think.
