On the winds of change, there is talk among New Hampshire's
politco types to "lease" Cannon Mountain to private entities,
as they did with the other state-owned facility, Mount Sunapee.
Of course, diehard Cannon Mountain ski areas are against this
potential change of wind direction. They fear "commercialization"
and rising ticket prices.
Meanwhile Cannon remains a cash drain on the state's bottom line.
The recently installed Mittersill side double chair has yet to transport
skiers and riders at all this season.
Speaking of Mittersill, there is a proposal on the table for the local
Franconia Ski Club to pony up a cool US$2 mil to create and install
a homologated (world-class ski racing standards) snowmaking-served
giant slalom race run over there.
Will it happen? Stay tuned.
