Mountain Reports

Weekends don't count unless you spend them skiing at Cannon."
-Bill Watterson

Good morning Cannon skiers and riders! It's shaping up to be another classic midwinter day in the Notch. While it's still going to be cold out there, temps will be a step warmer than yesterday. Base temps will climb into the upper single digits, with summit temps pushing back into positive territory. Northwest winds will stay on the lighter side today, and skies should gradually clear as the day goes on. There's a slight chance of morning flurries too, so keep your fingers crossed! The cold weather continues to keep the groomed terrain skiing beautifully, with grippy corduroy underfoot and softer snow off to the side. All of our glades are open too for those looking to explore. Don't forget about Huckerbrook Under the Lights tonight from 4-6pm as well! Be here for it!

9 lifts will spin at 8:30 a.m. Groomers were out overnight on 46 trails pressing in that corduroy. Expect conditions to be machine groomed with packed powder on the sides. Heads up: DJ's Tramline and Kinsman's glade close at 3:00p.m. and the Saddle closes at 3:30p.m. 

Today is our final Safety Saturday in recognition of Ski Area Safety Month. The focus will be on lift safety and will take place at the bottom of the Brookside Triple at 10am and 1pm. Find more information below.

Snowmaking: Snowmaking teams have the guns on Upper Baron's, it will be closed until snowmaking is complete. 

Winch Operation:

Parks: A pop-up park will be open on Lower Gremlin with a couple of new rails added recently. The Huckerbrook Park will be open with 9 features. A future park on Tossup is now under construction, so look for more fun features coming soon! Huckerbrook Under the Lights will run every Friday and Saturday from 4-6pm through February. The park crew put in extra hours to bring you an entirely new park on Huckerbrook, with more features, a more technical line and a guaranteed good time.

Racing: Training on Taft Training Slope, and racing on Time Zone
