I believe the rock pile has a ski touring event. Let's you try out skiing on either telemark or alpine skis with 'skins'.
I was looking at the 'skins' at the Glen XC shop a couple of weeks ago. I kind of like the idea but only on telemark skis rather than alpine. I occasionally XC as well as alpine.

OK, admittedly it is a bit of a drive but the view alone would make it worth it.
I ski there regularly and there is never a day goes by when I don't see folks skiing up the Ravine and Vistaway trails. Ravine is a steady moderate climb on a constantly groomed trail with snowmaking and hiking up for 60 minutes should get you at least halfway up. Vistaway is a trail at the top that puts you into what seems like an arms reach to Lafayette. Not sure about the cost for a touring pass, but if you are 65 and a NH resident the downhill pass is free The Cannon ski patrol is not only extremely proficient they are also extremely hands off during the week and unless you are being a total jerk nobody will bother you. Be aware though that during the weekdays the Cannon regulars tend to cruise fast and straight down the fall line but are usually in total control ...well almost always, sometimes the need for speed overcomes good sense YEEEHA! |

Sounds like your talking about me.haha. We love to crank high speed turns. The uphill pass is $15 and there is a designated route. Please stay on it and single file only.
