After nearly 2,000 feet of turns like this,
you'd be crazy not to go do another lap.
So we did.

Gorgeous photos! The photos you have labled of the East Face and East Couloir of Cannon Mtn. are actually facing West. My friends and I were the ones who put in those turns on the West Couloir of Cannon.
Love the photos!
