Cannon: The End?

Mount Lafayette from Cannon

Cannon barely made its closing weekend target. But, they made it. Spookie and the Links were patched together with mandatory rock and dirt patch connections by mid-day. Zoomer had some decent bump lines down low, but the lower mountain was not worth dealing with. The Cannonball Quad was where it was at: Profile was the theater and Cannon’s rowdiest brought the show. Irregular spaced out bumps with patches of hard pack and ice in between. Access the stage by crossing a semi-frozen mud and rock field: get it.

I couldn’t complain. At least I got a solid day of spring skiing before the season collapsed. My first vaccination was a week ago. The ski season was mostly a write off. The weather was perfect for a COVID year, during which I was unable to travel to Vermont. Very few storms, no significant dumps, consistently cold but nothing to get excited about. I didn’t miss much, and it was hard to care about something so insignificant as a ski season.

It was nice just to get out a few times, make a few turns, and call it a season.
