Can be cold and icy but one of the more challenging mountains back east. With minimal hiking you can get some backcountry runs off the tram if you know where to go. The only hint I'll give is don't go too far skiers left or you won't be able to make it back to the base area. You'll have a long walk back to the main road and then have to hitch hike. For less crowds park at the tram lodge rather than the main lodge.

Get the mid week season pass every year now really chilled.out atmosphere to the mountain, always leaves you thi king wow

The ski resort probably has the most difficult terrain in New Hampshire. The tree runs when they are open are unmatched. The groomers however you have to be careful of. Since the resort is run by the state they dont do the best job grooming and since they see a lot of wind they can be very icy. They also can see wind hold quite often since they are in the notch. It can also get very cold so I suggest bringing a bunch of layers or you will not have a good time skiing. The park is just okay they dont really have a beginner park but if you are a big jump Person they can make an awesome jump line just make sure to read the report before you go. Now they would have arguably the hardest trail in NH called djs tramline. It very rarely opens but if you live a challenge it is worth the trip just for that run. It needs a lot of snow because it is a rock field. It is very tight and steep with rocks sticking out everywhere. If you go to cannon and catch it on a good day it can be an excellent resort but if it is a bad day it can be the worst day of skiing you have ever had. Just make sure before you go keep an eye on the weather and read the mountain report.

Cannon is a gem with challenging terrain, affordable tickets and an old school ski bum vibe. Its never crowded and Im shocked when I have to wait more than a couple minutes in the lift line.

I have been skiing for most of my life and cannon will always be a staple for New Hampshire. Amazing bump trails, groomers, and people who work there.

Cannon is a great mountain for a skier looking to challenge themselves. It can be icy at times, but after a fresh snow the conditions can be beautiful. They tend to be a bit conservative with open trails, so you dont necessarily need to worry about skiing over rocks.

Cannon mountain is a great mountain for expert skiers who love difficult terrain some of the most difficult in the east. Cannon can get icy due to lack of snowmaking and due to the way the wind blows. The mountain is also extremely cold due to being in the notch. Cannon is a great mountain for advanced and expert skiers.
