Cannon Mountain

A group of happy skiers and riders who wanted their picture on the website. One of them jumped over me while I was taking a picture!

Lifts:

Tram (Removed 1938 American Steel & Wire Company 28-passenger aerial tramway using the tramway system developed by Adolf Bleichert & Co. 3 towers. Note: The original wooden Pavilion cabins were swapped out for steel replacements from Heron Engineering when wind blew the southern cabin “Lincoln” off the line in 1963. Wooden cabin “Lafayette” can still be seen at the New England Ski Museum near the Tram II Valley Station. The metal cabins remain at Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln, NH, and at the northbound rest area in Hooksett, NH. The cabin at Clark’s still has its hangar, trolley, and braking system in place. The bullwheels and haul rope counterweight remain in the top terminal. This was the first aerial tramway for passengers in North America. Removed in the early 1980s.)

Tram II (Operating 1979 Nuova Agudio 80-passenger aerial tramway with south cabin known as “Lafayette”, “Red Car”, “Car 2”, and “Ketchup”; and north cabin known as “Lincoln”, “Yellow Car”, “Car 1”, and “Mustard”. 3 towers.)

Zoomer Double (Removed 1962 Roebling double chairlift. Chairs can be found all over the North Country. Sold to SkyTrans Mfg. Most of its components, and those from the Peabody Double were used to build the two SkyGliders at the Iowa State Fair, where they are operated by Skyfair Inc.)

Mittersill Double (Operating 4,026′ 2010 Doppelmayr double chairlift with 136 chairs. A new install! That is rather uncommon these days, a brand-new 4,000-foot-long double chairlift! It did not operate much until snowmaking was installed on Mittersill’s slopes in the mid-2010s.)

New Peabody/Hong Kong/Gremlin Chair (Removed 1972 Pullman-Berry double. Sold to SkyTrans Mfg. Towers and sheaves were used in the SkyGlider at the Clay County Fair in Iowa. After its removal, these parts rejoined the rest of the lift at SkyTrans, where they remain to this day.)
