My favourite region in The White Mountains,
The Franconia Notch.
Site of the first passenger tramway in North America.
Heading to the highest skiing/hiking summit in New Hampshire.
8:29 lift line for a 8:30 start.
Thank goodness for it probably was five degrees already!
(five degrees celsius)
Everything that so worked for me in visits to my past five ski hills seemed to challenge me here at Cannon.
I can easily live with this being the largest place Ive visited so far, but along with it being a Saturday, a beautiful blue bird day, a sense to a skier that with the trending increasingly warming weather is that the end of the season is near,….. by mid morning there were lift lines, LIFT LINES!!!!! and everything that goes along with lots of skiers on limited snow, on what is turning out to be a very warm day.
Add to what I’m finding is that most of Cannon is cut out for fairly aggressive skiers which for my weary weak legs from a short week of skiing are having trouble adapting.
What I thought, and under different circumstances would and could have been my most liked and skied hill, had turned to me opting for a safe retreat after a couple of hours.
(Still my second biggest ski of the trip) Safe and happy with a little sun souvenir.
Beautiful location.
Cannon Mountain, home hill to Bode Miller.
Will miss BodeFest by a week.
Get to lie in bed and look at Cannon in the fall.
By the time I returned to my room twenty minutes down the road, just shortly after noon, temperature a little more conducive for some cycling.
