The resort was envisioned in 1960 during construction of the Kancamagus Highway when Sherman Adams, former New Hampshire governor, saw more than just a road but the opportunity to build a great ski resort and mountain destination.
During the day or night, head to Little Sister Trail, and take advantage of lift-served snow tubing. Loon Mountain has a ski and snowboard school for visitors of all levels. There are children’s camps for kids three and up, and women-specific programs.
