Christmas and New Years Franconia/Cannon, Mt., NH

Hey, snow. I lived in north conway for 2yrs, those little trees are really face slappers, the wool balacava's helped with that too. BRRRRRRR

After living here for years but growing up in NH, salivating over NH snow is a pretty rare event -- unless you're into 'frozen granular' .  I remember once in high school we skied something called tuckerbrook - the entrance was skiers-left as you hiked out to Mittersill.  I only skied it once but remember it being really fun, was any of that footage shot out there?  I know you needed to shuttle a car from Cannon if you skied it.  While i'm reminiscing about NH, thought I'd give a shout out to Pats Peak!!

Endlesswinter: most of the footage is shot off of the Tuckerbrook trail in areas called locals only and lemming's leap.  We skied Tuckerbrook (3000+ ft vertical) quite a few times that week. On one of the runs we were followed by some unknowing tourists.  We came out on Wells Road down in the valley, they popped out behind us, with a look of astonishment...they were seriously lost, without a vehicle, as we all piled into our stashed truck, we offered one of them a ride back to Cannon so he could pick up a car and go back and get his buddies...they were grateful!

Nice! Cannon is about as classic East Coast as they come. Did you guys ski any of the lines skiers right of the Tram line? There are some sweet turns in there, although pretty bony at low cover.

The Kinsman Glade and Tramline area are great, but you need a good base, which we didn't have at the time...definitely some of the steepest inbounds terrain on the east coast...We stuck to the southwestern side of the mountain (Tuckerbrook drainage), where all the windblown snow gets deposited.
