Warm Day Skiing Cannon Mountain

My buddy Pauly and I met up at Cannon Mountain. We did not realize that our Indy Pass was blacked out this day but it was a NH Resident discount day so we had to pay but not full price.

There was also an inversion happening. That means that it is warmer at the top of the mountain than the bottom. I decided that I didn’t want to wear my full winter coat and opted for my winter shell.

The conditions were ok. We were a little disappointed at the amount of snow that melted with the warm weather, rain and fog from a few days ago.

Days before the whole mountain was bright white. Now there were many bare spots all around and even the trails had some large muddy sections that needed to be skied around.

What was left of snow was ok and it seemed to get better as the day went on. Lots of skiable areas. In some areas it was a little mash potato snow and was hard to turn.

We took a hike up to the summit of Cannon Mountain and went up the tower. After that we had lunch and a beer from the highest taps in the North East.

A few more runs after lunch and we called it a day. Even though it was not the conditions we were hoping for, it was much better than the icy slopes Cannon is famous for.
