Happy 2009 and New Year Y'All!!

Welcome back Everyone! You wheren't gone... though it would seem we have been missing for some time. Anyway... we're back at it, and happy to be so.

You know what's so great about the New Year, every year? It signifies Hi-Time for Skiing and things Winter Sports amidst NH's Franconia Notch State Park and the greater & surrounding White Mountain National Forest. Cannon Mountain Ski Area is now in full swing with snow conditions like rarely seen in season's past. Their renewed dedication to snow making & grooming is TRULY remarkable. Even with all the rain and 40+ degrees days in the week past snow surfaces across the mountain are NOT icy! Machine Groomed, Packed Powder primary with Loose Granular secondary tells the story.

As for the woods set, ice climbing conditions are prime with plenty of places to "pick you way" along, while all the areas cross-country centers are also open and ready to go. Snowmobile trails are now being groomed regularly, the lakes and ponds have frozen and it's time to Ride NH!

Summer in the Mountains has started in certain & definite style.

The nightly FRANCONIA TRAFFIC REPORT... as seen above.

June 21st has come and gone and the 94 days of summer have already begun their quick count down to fall here in Franconia, NH. Our lakes, rivers and streams have "warmed up" nicely and the leaves have filled in the forests left barren by winter's burrrr. The bears are awake, this year's cubs are on the grow and as for Moose... Watch Out and do Brake for Moose! We know you want to see at least one yet we want you to enjoy it. Be cautious about the times of dawn, dusk and during the dark as these are the times when moose are most difficult to spot, most often on the move and also so often collided with by automobiles. Safety first-please.

All of The White Mountain Attractions (16 in all) including Cannon Mountain's Aerial Tram, The Flume Gorge and Echo Lake Beach are now open and greeting guests on a regular basis. There really is lots to do here and best of all it's not far from getting from point to point in NH's White Mountains Region.
