Tucker Brook Trail was one of the first trails cut on Cannon Mountain. While the upper section has been lost to the ski area, you can still enjoy a piece of ski history from the top of Mittersill. Just after Saddle begins, ski under the boundary rope to skiers left. The trail begins with a series of leg burner switchbacks, known as 13 Turns. After 13 Turns, the trail becomes slightly wider as you begin to enter mixed woods. Lower down the trail eases in angle as you meander through deciduous woods. Keep your speed towards the bottom, the trail flattens out fairly quickly. Eventually, you will reach the parking lot on Tucker Brook Road. Make sure you have a car spot here, unless your prepared for a long skin back to Cannon.
