cannon mountain

the ski museum at cannon was pretty cool. i saw the one at vail colorado as well and that one had a lot more things. the thing that stuck out the most to me was the M1 Grand. i was so upset that they had the gun disarmed. its a shame and a crime that they ruined a peice of history. the gun is so pretty and gracefull. they wood work was beautiful. that gun should be in the hands of an enthusist who will love it and put rounds through it. im declaring shanagans on cannon mountain. that M1 Grand diserves better.

Burke

havent blogged in a while. just thinking about the new burke lift and the master plan for burke mountain. i think the new lift is going to improve the mountain greatly. i know that in the two years that i have skied burke i have gone to the top very few times. i used to hate going to the top of burke. that old fixed grip lift was awful. froze my ass all the way up and to took so long. i just wanted to jump off of it half the time. the new detachable getting to the top in 6 minutes is going to be great. the master plan for the mountain looks great as well. burke is a good size mountain. 2000 verticle isnt bad for the north east. if they can develop the base they can turn the place into a profitable vacation spot.
