New Hampshire taxpayers concerned about the long term future of Cannon Mountain Ski Area in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire

The Cost of Cannon Mountain Ski Area
to the State of New Hampshire
Since 2000
As of

In light of recent budget cuts and renewed talk about leasing Cannon Mountain to private operators, many inaccurate statements have been made by the current government management in recent years:

"[W]e're a self-funded, self-managed, State-owned success story"

"[W]e’ve turned a nearly $1.5 Million deficit into a nearly $1 Million surplus within just four years"

"Over the last four years, Cannon’s average annual net profit has exceeded the Mount Sunapee lease payment to the State"

Cannon Mountain Ski Area has misled taxpayers, lawmakers, the media, and organizations such as the Appalachian Mountain Club and Society for the Preservation of New Hampshire Forest into believing the operation is self-funded and self-sufficient. The reality is that Cannon Mountain Ski Area has cost taxpayers millions of dollars while offering little to no benefit to the vast majority of New Hampshire residents.

This site presents the source documents cited by Cannon Mountain management, while also presenting source data conveniently disregarded in the pro-government-management propoganda.

It is time for the New Hampshire government to get out of the ski business.
