Back to excellent basics at Cannon Mountain

In the town of Franconia, with just over a thousands residents, this 265-acre ski area dating back to the 1930s is located within Franconia Notch State Park and run by the state of New Hampshire boasts its highest ski-area summit (4,180 ft.), a vertical drop of 2,180, and 23 miles of trails offering challenges for all levels but is best for intermediate and advanced. Cannon lacks the fancy frills, bells, and whistles of, say, Bretton Woods, but it´s widely considered a "skiers´ mountain," with a very local feel and even dubbed "the Living Legend." Also in and around Franconia, you can visit the former home of poet Robert Frost, the New England Ski Museum, and the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway.
