Broken water pipe at Cannon

[Puck it]

There was a washout yesterday at the bottom of Rocket near the FSC building. It appears to have been a buried pipe. Not sure if it is affecting snowmaking across the mountain but it is near the intake from the lake.

I was was there. I did not take any pics. Looks like it was shutdown pretty quick. You can still ski from Gary's to Zoomer on the uphill side of the washout.

When I was there before Christmas, there was a geyser of water at the top of the Zoomer chair a couple times. I don't know if it was a pipe leak, or if they were intentionally releasing pressure.

Ugh. That sucks.

Wildcat had one of these on catapult recently. Welcome to the club.

Jay also froze a pipe on Vermonter, which is why there is little or no snow making on it.

Thought this thread was related to the legal weed thread. Not that ​kind of water pipe.

All fixed up today, wouldn't have known it happened if I didn't see it on Friday.

What time was that?I didn't ski the Zoomer pod after lunch but never saw anything.Are you sure it wasn't the shut down where water flows back to the lake?I was riding the Cannonball lift with 2 of my snowmaking buddies around noon and no mention of that.

It was after noon. It was something buried. And it washed out the ground in about 30' x 75' swath of the trail at the base by the FSC hq.
