[snowriders] Cannon Mountain, NH. March 6th.

[MIT Snowriders Members]

Hey Snowriders,

The Cannon trip is about 2/3 full. We've got one more day to fill a few 
more seats for this trip, so if you're on the fence now's the time to 
recruit some friends and sign up!

Cannon mountain has offered us one of the best group discounts we've 
seen and, despite the springy weather we've been seeing here in Boston, 
they're still getting snow in the New Hampshire mountains. They got 12 
inches yesterday! The huge dump they got over the weekend should extend 
their season by a few weeks and with the weather forecast, this weekend 
is shaping up to make for some nice spring skiing/riding.

Cannon is one of the closer mountains to Boston so this trip wont 
require as early of a start. We're planning to leave at 5:30am, so you 
wont have to try so hard to wake up on time.
