Some New Hampshire Vibe
Here is a taste of a couple things that hit the Guru’s radar which are going down in the Granite State.
In addition, on a personal note, I did already make it to Cannon this year and I love that place. There was great snow when I was there back in January. I know a lot of you are already keen too the place.

I like this idea from Loon, NH — for $2 you can feel better about your footprint as a skier.
Loon Mountain, NH First East Coast Resort to Make SkiGreen Tags Available to Guests
Skiers and snowboarders can reduce environmental impacts of recreational travel by adding a SkiGreen Tag to their lift ticket purchase
Lincoln, N.H. – New Hampshire’s Loon Mountain is pleased to announce it is the first mountain ski resort in the eastern United States to partner with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) to make SkiGreen Tags available to skiers and snowboarders.
SkiGreen Tags are a solution for skiers and snowboarders who wish to reduce the associated environmental impacts of their recreational activities, such as the greenhouse gas emissions caused by driving a vehicle to the mountain.
Each SkiGreen Tag represents 100-kilowatt hours of wind energy and offsets 140 pounds of global warming pollution, or approximately the equivalent of driving 150 miles in a vehicle that gets 21 MPG.
Tags are sold for $2 each, and can be purchased at the same time a lift ticket is purchased. Proceeds from the sale of SkiGreen Tags support renewable energy through BEF on behalf of the tag purchaser.
