    Cannon Mt. 2/01/03

    hit cannon on sat. had to ski the tramline after looking at this report. i think it falls under the rite of passage category in the east. wiht the likes of paradise, the face at jay, goat, chin at stowe, to name a few. its about time a ski area in new hampshire got some balls and cut a gnarly trail.
