Reply to comment by comefromawayfan2022 in the cannon mountain tram needs repairs and Sununu proposes replacing the tram with a gondola to cut costs by comefromawayfan2022

The only gondolas in NH are at Loon and Bretton Woods. Loon’s is such a POS, it shouldn’t even count. Wildcat is in Pinkham Notch. Wildcat has a scenic chairlift. Definitely no gondola. That place is decrepit, especially since Vail did a hostile takeover. Bretton Woods is in Crawford Notch. Saying those areas are in Franconia Notch is like saying Burke and Jay are in Franconia Notch.

To be fair peak resorts (prior owner) didn’t give a shit about wildcat either.

I'm not sure if wildcat has ran their lift in the summer since COVID. But they actually remove the chairs and run gondola cabins in the summer.

Loon has their gondola scheduled to be replaced next year.

Got a source, or just another hallucination of yours? They do plan to replace it, but not until 2026 at the earliest according to this: https://www.loonflightpath.com/

Only that I worked in the industry for 20 years and I still have family who works for Loon.

It was originally supposed to be done in 2021, but they lost a ton of money due to Covid, so they pushed it back.

Loon never announced when they would be replacing their gondola and it definitely isn't happening next year. It will be a multi year project when they do.
