Relatively speaking Loon Mountain is the “new kid on the block” but that new kid is way cool and you just know he’s into some rad stuff just by the way he carries himself.
Borne of the dreams of Sherman Adams, former NH Governor and consumate outdoorsman and skier. On the day of Adams memorial service, after his death in 1986, a lone bagpipe player stood atop a massive boulder halfway up the side of Loon Mountain and played a version of Amazing Grace that echoed down the valley and sent chills up the spine of anyone there to pay tribute to this giant of a man.
Small wonder that Loon would not only become the regular venue for the annual Gathering of the Clans Highland Games in NH but in the winter one of NH’s most popular resorts.
Adams would be proud of the position Loon has attained since his time.
Skiers and riders can explore over 22 acres of glade runs, burn it up on the bumps or rip down the steeps. Boarder will attest to the fact that loon has some of the best Terrain parks in the east including a Superpipe and the Burton Progression Terrain Park.
Loon hosts the finals for the northeast circuit of the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge on the last Saturday of March or first Saturday of April each ski season.
Like Waterville, which has the same corporate ownership, Loon is among the top mountains in annual
capital expenditures to create value for skiers and boarders. During the past few years they have added a mid-mountain lodge, pumped up lift speed and overall per hour capacity and done trail work. The much-anticipated South Peak development will add even more great terrain and two high speed quad lifts to what is already one of the state’s premier mountains.
