Cannon Opening Day 12/12 - Day 7

[Puck it 309]

The usual crew. ABV, Cannonball and wife, Fcksummer. My daughter and boyfriend. They are new Cannon season pass holders.  Groom was up the usual standard which is a low bar. There were a lot snirt around mid mountain. The upper mountain was in excellent shape. Tramway was rotd for me. Longest day so far and legs were shot.

Solid opening day. Definitely the most trails they've opened with in a few years at least. Snow was decent, soft as long as you stayed away from the whales and snowmaking blow-over on the lower mountain. Upper Mountain was in nice shape. Tough light all day.

 

The Covid stuff wasn't too bad. The line at Cannonball could use a little work so people aren't falling down a glacier. Hopefully they keep capping the amount of day passes as the non-grouping for the lift definitely slows things down.

Snow conditions were really good in the morning (and not bad by Cannon standards even after lunch)!  The 7-year-old was being a snot and refused to go up the Cannonball, but we skied a solid 5 hours on the mid and lower mountain.  My husband, 10-, and 12-year-olds had a great time up top.  The kids also LOVED the park...they had been missing that since last March!

I was really impressed with everything.  I thought the organization and execution was well beyond typical Cannon standards, and I just hope it continues so we can have a full season of skiing!

Agreed, it was better than I expected and was a great way to open up (minus the delayed opening for Zoomer).  Too bad you didn't get up top though. It was actually pretty fluffy up there. Especially Tramway.
