Hi - We are thinking or choosing Cannon for our 2019/20 "ski home".

I have only skied Cannon a few times it's been a while), but always hear how wild the "ice and wind" can be. Given the propensity for wind, etc, is this a good ski area for young families?

Yes, yes and yes. I grew up 10 miles from Cannon. Love the mountain. The weather can be iffy anywhere. I had amazing skiing all March 2019 when I was back in the area. The best part is the ‘real ski’ feel and the people who ski and work there. Good luck in your decision. Yes, they have ski lockers.
Did anyone tried the childcare and/or ski program for the 3 years old and can say how these programs are?
A:
sorry for getting back to you so late. yes we enjoyed the daycare there as my kids where there for half day so that the adults can have some nice alone time. deft highly recommend it
We are last minute hoping to ski tomorrow at Cannon mt. Does anyone know a place to stay one night, tomorrow, saturday for 2 adults 2 teen, either on the mountain or close by?
A:
Kinsman Lodge We stayed there last weekend. Awesome
Good question, and am sorry don't have an answer, maybe on web site, or give them a call, my thought is yes, but that's a gut feeling rather than fact, good luck, it's a great place to visit.
