+ About this map
Loon Mountain exists because of a vicuna overcoat. Sherman Adams, Eisenhower’s White House Chief of Staff, was forced to resign in 1958 after a House subcommittee revealed he had accepted the coat, along with an oriental rug, from a textile manufacturer under FTC investigation. Adams went home to Lincoln, New Hampshire, where he had once supervised logging camps, scouted the terrain himself on snowshoes, and opened the ski resort on December 27, 1966. It has since grown into one of New England’s busiest ski areas, with 73 trails spread across three connected peaks at the edge of the White Mountain National Forest.
The skiing is classic New England: winding trails cut through hardwood forest, fast groomed cruisers, and a gondola ride to the 3,065-foot summit with the White Mountains stacked in every direction. The contour lines on this map trace the mountain’s long ridgeline above the river valley.
