We just received news that there is a good possibility that Loon will be opening tomorrow.  Hooray!

Boy, I have never seen this happen before.  With the exception of very rainy/windy weather, once the season opens, Loon is always open.  However,because of the warm temperature and rain, they have closed for today November 30th and will be closed Thursday December 1st and hope to reopen on Friday December 2nd.  We will update you as we know  more. Let's all hope for colder, drier weather.

Hooray! Loon is finally open for skiing.  They opened yesterday at noon. This is a sure sign that winter is on it's way.  Fifty degree, sunny weather is predicted for this weekend and Loon is offering early season lift ticket rates of: $49 for adults (19-64), $39 for teens (13-18), $29 for juniors (6-12) and seniors (65+), and free for children under five and seniors 80+.  Sooo   ...COME ON DOWN!

Snowmaking temperatures are expected to return tonight and more terrain is expected to open this week. For Thanksgiving, Loon anticipates offering top-to-bottom terrain with at least 10 trails, over 60 acres and more than 4 miles of skiing and riding. Loon’s addition of 600 highly-efficient tower snow guns in the past two years, including an additional 170 snow guns added for this year, allows the resort to cover maximum terrain in a short period of time and expand open terrain quickly. Earlier this week, 288 snow guns were running at one time, covering 10 trails.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The caves and caverns of Lost River Gorge will provide the backdrop later this week for a New York-based production company filming on location in Kinsman Notch. A crew of about 20 people from Amalgamated Picture Company will be at Lost River for most of the day on Friday (Oct. 15),  shooting scenes for the comedic drama, Epilogue, about the break-up of an action hero and his leading lady at the end of their adventure. The crew will be filming in several spots throughout the gorge, but there likely will be opportunities to watch from a distance. The sequence to be filmed is the beginning of the short film, written by New Hampshire native Dylan Allen, the owner of Amalgamated Picture Company. He worked closely with the New Hampshire Film and Television Office in Concord to come up with the perfect backdrop for the movie. Lost River, at the top of Kinsman Notch, is dramatic in its own right. It cascades on a subterranean course, under and over a steep walled glacial gorge. It flows into the Pemigewasset River, about 7 miles away in North Woodstock. In addition, it has about three-quarters of a mile of boardwalk winding through it. The film crew does not need any extras for the on-location shoot, taking place a week before Lost River closes for the season on Oct.23. For more information, visit www.FindLostRiver. com.

Welcome to our blog.  Please bear with us as we are new to all of this and you should expect to find many mistakes along the way.

Early last month, we were visited by Hurricane Irene.  She left much devestation and destruction in her path.  The Lincoln-Woodstock area has responded remarkably, and we are now in pretty good condition.  All roads leading to Lincoln are open and the fall foliage is beautiful.  One of the biggest issues facing us was the collapse of the bridge connecting the area to Loon Mountain.  We celebrated a very successful Highland Games, putting in a temporary walking bridge to Loon Mountain and a temporary access road from South Mountain.  We are expecting a great ski season with a temporary bridge giving us access to Loon Mountain.  So,   ...all systems are GO!
