Have you guys been getting some at Cannon? Conditions have been terrific for this time of year. I've been logging some great days. Can't wait till they get the upper mountain open to really start rack'n some vert!!

Yup, figured that would just be better than to depress myself by skiing in the rain

"It's going to be cold tomorrow but dress the part and enjoy some of the 15" of new snow we've picked up this week (less at base elevations), including 1-2" during the day today. It's also 2-fer Tuesday - tickets are just 2-for-$72!"

does anyone else think their snow report is out of wack??? I mean i get they are doing promotion but how can they say there's 15 inches on snow in the past week. up top might have gotten 6 or 8 but 15!? no way

they've always been sneaky with that, I remember about a month ago they reported a foot because everyone else was but only got about 5 inches. this week wind was probably a factor (1 foot of snow 2 feet of wind etc) but yeah they definitely exaggerate a lot

Skied echo yesterday and it was knee deep with a good base. Ended up hitting a tree and breaking my scapula. I'm out for a month but it was a sick day none the less.

They finally have the park fully up and running an it is AMPED. Today was the Bern Big Air Contest. With some huge hits! But actually the best part about having the event going on was that the trails were deserted and you could let it rip.

Cannon's park is sick but everyone in their park is a dumbass. I can't begin to say how many times I've been cut off in the past few weeks from fools standing in landings/runways... especially under the cannon rail. Just because nobody else hits it doesn't mean it's ok to stand right under the feature goddamnit.

I think we are in need on an edit. Shoulder turned out to be pretty bad so I'm out and dying to see the park. What better way than a good edit.

ahh haven't been skiing the park much at Cannon, honestly i think it's pretty sucky and boring. I know Lars and Josiah are doing there thing but it's pretty bad.


Been skiing some other stuff though and have got some sick fresh snow!!! Been an awesome few days after the storm!

T-swag shredding some open pow lines!

^ Wat the fuck, thats bears gut right there in the background. And other than that are than any other big cliff spots with good landings?? On ski the east I saw a pic of a guy doing it, looked sick and it wasn't like the dude was pro or some shit. Guy just sent it.

^ Where is Tucker brook and Whiskey Barrel ?? Can you actually do anything off any of them like spins or flips or are they really tight as far as being surround by trees and shit?

You could probably get a spin in on lemmings because it's pretty wide open, but not really in mushroom or anywhere else. There's a pretty big rock in banshee glade with a good run in, but the landing is flat as hell. Hit it with speed and when there is good snow and it would probably work. There are also some big ones on tramline, but they are pretty sketchy

That second picture is me. I found everything by exploring and observing where people disappear into the woods. Then just going for it. For this season the top 2 pictures you probably won't be getting to, unless we get another big storm. No one will tell you how to get to these spots, but if you get in with the locals and ride with them, sometimes you get honored to venture to these spots with them.
