Anyone excited about the new chair on Mittersill or do you think it will ruin the back country feel? Anyone going to be going up at all this year? I know Cannon is not super big for park and stuff but i think it deserves its own thread! Cheers

Cannon lost quite a bit of snow this weekend. Main trails were bare. Theres nothing in the park now, instead theres 5 big rollers and the flat box over by tuckerbrook , I really dont understand the point of this, its such a waste of snow.

probably because thats the beginner park and for some odd reason beginner parks always have rollers.  i guess they help you progress to hitting jumps?  i dont know but i was there thursday and all they had was a kicker and 2 flat boxes and rollers

they had stuff in the park....but they took it out because there starting snowmaking on the real park.....and yes the little park is totally for little kids....andi agree with you guys that the ski the east freeride tour should get to cannon....if it was on tramline it would be soo sick....its such a fun trail

I was there today (thursday) and mittersill was pretty ugly with all the traffic. The morning skiing in general was great though. Global Warming was really nice early on, didn't hit it in the afternoon. That snow was a work out! not used to that stuff at all.

I was in a red jacket, black pants, 07 Fujatives.
