"You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more powder laps at Cannon?" - Kevin McCallister

We have picked up 4 feet of snow since the start of the season, and it feels more like mid-winter than mid-December. This weekend is also you last chance to take advantage of the early season ticket rates and adults can ski for just $79. Once you have had your fill on the hill, stick around for the Franconia Notch Ski Patrol Association Fundraiser. There will be a showing of the latest Matchstick Productions movie, "After the Snowfall", raffles, good food and cold beer!

4 Lifts will spin at 8:30am with 31 trails. Groomers will be out 19 trails overnight. Conditions will be packed powder on most open terrain. Taft Slalom to the Hardscrabbles will open pending patrol inspection. Ski and ride with caution! There are natural hazards, water bars, and thin spots. Keep in mind, you cannot get back to the Cannonball Quad you must take the Hardscrabbles back to the Peabody Quad.  

Parks: There is a small early season park on skier's left of Lower Cannon. Our crew has a nice setup with a jump, a rail, a box, a low pipe and high pipe. Go have some fun in there!

Snowmaking: Snowmakers are shifting their efforts to the Front5. Guns are firing on Rocket, Gary's and Time Zone.  

Racing: There is no race training tomorrow. 

Patrol would like to remind everyone: DO NOT DUCK ROPES. They are there for an important reason: your safety! Hikers heading up Kinsman Ridge and planning to ski or ride down MUST have a valid Cannon season pass or lift ticket to access our trails.

Uphill: Partially OPEN 
The route is as follows: Lower Ravine > Middle Ravine > Cannonball Lift. Please Note: Uphillers are not to proceed to the summit as there is no uphill trail access at this time. Your run down will begin at the base of the Cannonball Lift. Anyone accessing the Uphill Route must have a valid Uphill Pass and armband, available for purchase at the ticket window. Thank you for your cooperation.
