Cannon Expects Another Profitable Year

The Cannon Mt. Advisory Committee met on May 1st to hear the report from Cannon's management as to the status of the mountain's operations over the winter season.

John DeVivo, manager at Cannon reported that the mountain is expecting to finish the year with a profit of $250,000 to $350,000, making this the second year in a row that Cannon has shown a profit.

Mr. DeVivo reports a 5% increase in skier visits and an 11% increase in season's passes purchased.

Funding for the construction of a lift at the newly acquired Mittersill slopes is still uncertain.

Funding in the amount $460,000 from the Cannon Mt. Capital Fund will be requested for the completion of capital improvements started last year. These monies will require approval by the Capital Budget Overview Committee, which is expected.

16th Annual Lupine Festival
June 5th - 21st

The annual blossoming of the lupines is celebrated with the Fields of Lupine Festival, a time honored regional event celebrating the arrival of Spring. The lupine spikes cover the local fields in purples, pinks, blues and whites. Butterflies, attracted to the blossoms create a magical mix of nature's finest against the majestic backdrop of the towering peaks of the White Mountains.

Photographers from near and far venture to the area to capture the colors of Spring in all their glory.

The event, sponsored by the Franconia Notch Chamber of Commerce features a wealth of activities, events, discounts, and deals throughout the region during the course of the three-week festival.

The Fields of Lupine Tour Book serves as the admission ticket to performances, and a discount coupon for dining and shopping throughout the region.
