Cannon boast the oldest continuously operating Aerial Tramway in the country, don't be nervous the towers, cable and cars have been updated and replaced to strict code a few times since the originals.

Most of the slopes were obscured in the clouds, on this State owned resort. This is a New Hampshire Tradition rugged steep and often icy. The locals like it that way it keeps the ski bunnies in the lodge and hardy skiers on the trails. We feel if you can ski this North Eastern Mountain you can ski anywhere in the World and handle the changing conditions. This was Bode Miller's Training Ground, our native son two time World cup Champion and two time Olympic Silver medalist skied here as a child and cut his teeth on Cannon's challenging slopes.He has a farm near by where he grows organic produce and trains in the off season.

 

I can't begin to keep up with Bode on the ski slopes, But I have played many rounds of golf with him and we are pretty equal with clubs in our hand. I wanted to wish Bode the best of luck in the upcoming (and most likely last) winter Olympics.

 

This was a late Summer hike with Cannon Mountain in the background, still can't see the whole mountain its hard to pick a day that the top of the hill in visible.

It's just beautiful.  I always love your photos and they are so much better when you have an interesting bit of history/fact to go with them.

Great shot, looks like the first picture is a dusting of snow.  We have skiing about 10 minutes from us and I can honestly say I rarely go, so sad, but I can say I am playing golf today at the Country Club, last time probably for the year... boo hoo.

That's really cool that you know Bode Miller and golf with him!  Equally impressive that you have the actual "training grounds" right there in your back yard!

Back in the winter of 1980, when the wheel was still square, I hiked in the White Mountains. Camped out at Tuckerman's Ravine, skied the bowl and loved every minute of it.

You live, work and play in a wonderful area my friend.

Steve - I am impressed with skiers!  I walked out of my first group ski lesson in Connecticut (paid for five lessons) because I was scared!!  When the instructor said "Now go down that hill", I shuffled away home and did not say good-bye!

Best wishes!
