Standing proud in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Cannon Mountain offers a genuine New England skiing experience. Since 1938, this historic mountain has challenged and delighted skiers with its steep terrain and dramatic views. From the summit at 4,080 feet, visitors can take in spectacular panoramas of four states and Canada on clear days.

Cannon Mountain's network of 10 lifts, including the iconic Aerial Tramway, efficiently serves 95 trails and glades. The Aerial Tramway, New Hampshire's first aerial passenger tramway, whisks 70 passengers to the summit in under 10 minutes, while high-speed quads and fixed-grip chairs provide access to terrain across the mountain's 285 skiable acres.
