Yes, yes indeed! One of these days I need to meet up with you for a little adventure and I'm always up for trailwork!
I do believe I scored my last faceshot of the season yesterday. Not saying it won't snow, but I'm traveling too much next month and my ski days will be limited to sunny (hopefully) George days...which is nice! Looking forward to some killer corn!

I was stuck on zoomer chair went power went out, but they got that one going after about 10 minutes. I went home but after an hour I could still see folks stuck on the mittersill double!
my understanding is that the backup could only power one lift at a time. sunday i noticed the brookside chair was out because something went wrong when they went to power it back up.
I have a season pass, but if you had a day pass that day, you can turn it in for a free ticket. my daughter brought a friend and did indeed get a free day ticket for sunday. I thought that was nice, considering the power went out at 3.
sun and snow were fantastic this past weekend. 80s weekend was a huge draw. big crowd by cannon standards. and almost empty sunday.
legs are toast. face is burnt. good times.

They love it!
Was skiing with my 2 year old grandson on Saturday. "Faster" was it operative word when he was skiing between my skis.
He was nervous when I wasn't holding him. Guessing it would help, we did some games involving me backwards snowplowing ... tired me right out but he was laughing and enjoying the heck out of sliding on his own!
His big sister, 4, threw down her first hockey stop and realised she could turn that into turns. She did some french fry turns...her dad has a way with small kids and skiing.
Such a big day for the youngsters, truly amazing how fast they learn. Naturally it was lights out in the car on the way homeThe sad truth is that whine does not age well

Fairly long shot but worth putting it out there, lost my wallet at Nebraska Valley yesterday. We skied the north facing slope down the lake, noticed my pocket was open about halfway down. Could have happened anywhere, but if someone comes across it in the next few weeks, shoot me a PM Please!
Otherwise, awesome weekend, really great weather! Challengingly heavy snow to ski coming back from Japan with wide open trees and super light snow, felt like I couldn't link 3 turns together without struggling to remember what my bod wants to do on snow!

Hard right!
The tram was down for close to two hours. Last one to download. My kid was on it, not me, thankfully. Yeah, their procedure is one lift at a time on auxiliary. Must have something to do with something, but it's confusing as hell to me. They have diesel power source at each lift? Maybe they don't and have to use one or more generators to operate other chairs. Not an issue on a bluebird spring-ish day, but a typical Cannon winter day that would have been ugly.
As my buddy who is a MRG skier just mentioned, "cannon has a bunch of manmade shit in the way, huh?" They absolutely do. That hill is a little rough around the edges. They sure as fuck should clean up the mess on Tramline. Rebar and crap could really hurt someone. JD is a well liked I know, but that place needs a cleaning of some sort. Somebody is in the way or it's the politics of being state run. Never been a huge fan of some of the older patrol over there either.
And Jhyatt, maybe if we see each other on the hill we can discuss.

Saturday in the north was amazing. The snow had settled some but it was still easily skied and was nice and supportive over the glacier below (never hit it with my skis).
Start of the day looking at some nice looking mountain...

Sunday headed to LOC with the kids. Unfortunately my 7 year old sprained her knee when she skied across a grassy spot and crashed.

Should you encounter this group of Hooligans on your home turf I suggest bear spray and the like.

Great stoke everyone! What a difference en epic storm and a handful of bluebird days make after 2 weeks of meltdown. Just got sent this one from last week.
Even Southern MA is serving up some great corn (and pine needle) sliding right now.
The throat is looking good again judging from JS' pic, anyone have any beta? I'm thinking still some open water lower down? Still hope to get some turns in with you this year Jackstraw, haven't been to cannon in a few years now, need to fix that. That hard right turn from that spot looks like the perfect place to take it switch to the road.Last edited by clubhousebmx; 03-21-2017 at 07:13 AM.

Yeah, difficult to determine what's going on down low, but it's surely on it's way out now, if not already. That aspect isn't great for lasting long. The other side of the street was getting bony down low, which is always a bit sketchy, but that is also a pretty good indication of the other side.
Maybe we can get a rock pile day in!?
Switch to the road!

Yeeeeeeeesh. All this substance. Nice shots people.
Was anyone at the Rusty Nail friday night? Or the Snow Barn saturday? Was on stage or drinking beer or both. Alternately, if anyone was at the Loaf, friends in a different band hit their venue & slopes this weekend too. (With any amount of foresight, i would've asked this before performing)
Sunday, skied Mt Snow 8-11 before check out/band van back to Boston, and those 3 hours alone gave me so much life. Lapped the North Face lift; loooooong turns on corduroy, big bumps with patches of ice (humbling) and stashes of fresh, a small drop and a solid coreshot in the woods, alternately WOOing and wheezing.
I felt reborn.
I know y'all don't really know me and I don't have visual stoke of the slopes (and it was just a run of the mill morning of inbounds skiing), but my life has been peaks&valleys without the peaks for a while, so I'm psyched i just got paid to hit a hill when my schedule/finances/cargettingtotaled have precluded me from skiing much at all... had to share.
*Crawls back into darkness, looks forward to more shots from better skiers*

Potentially great news for Killington and east coast race fans: http://www.aspendailynews.com/section/home/174686
With Shiffrin winning the World Cup overall title this weekend and it being an Olympic year, races at K next season will be momentous.
