Last year I had a choice between Mt Sunapee and Loon. I chose Loon because a friend told me Sunapee was like skiing at Ramshead in Killington for an entire day. I'm sure he was exaggerating but I was not unhappy with my decision. Had a blast at Loon. Looks like Sunapee wants to grow (taken from yesterday's NH Union Leader)
Vail Resorts wins approval to expand Mount Sunapee into West Bowl
CONCORD — Vail Resorts, the new operator of state-owned Mount Sunapee ski area, has won the right to expand the resort to adjacent properties known as the West Bowl thanks to a 3-2 vote of the Executive Council on Wednesday.
The decision, which has been months in the making, drew immediate criticism from those who for years have fought against Sunapee expansion.
“It’s never been the right thing for the people of New Hampshire to obligate themselves to the West Bowl expansion,” said Tom Elliott, a former executive director of Friends of Mount Sunapee. He said using state land to help a private company enrich itself is fundamentally opposed to the whole idea of state parks. “I thought state parks were for protecting land for all the generations to come,” Elliott said
An extra 150 acres sure looks good though....
