If today was a taste of things to come, then you're in for photographic memories of crystal clear blue skies accentuated by the white mass of Cannon. Potentially, this is the best weekend weather projection we've seen so far this season, and we have a full lineup of events to back it up. The Northeast was dealt a pretty crummy hand this year, but with over 6 FEET of natural snow on the season we're in better shape than most. In the past week we've opened 10 trails including the Global Warming & Go Green Glades, as well as the see-it-to-believe-it TossUp Terrain Park! Visit Cannon for an unforgettable weekend. For Saturday we expect to open with 55 trails and 9 lifts on a mix of loose granular & packed powder conditions. The Peabody, Tuckerbrook, Cannonball, & Zoomer chairs spin @ 8:30, while the Eagle Cliff, Huckerbrook, & Brookside lifts turn @ 9. For first tracks head over to the 70-Passenger Aerial Tramway for the 8:15 car. The newly constructed TossUp Terrain Park is a massive hit! This park is clearly the biggest & best we've ever engineered. For more jibbing fun check out the Turkey Trot Park and the Huckerbrook Mini-Park. SALE in the Cannon Sports Shop this weekend
