FRANCONIA NOTCH — Gov. Chris Sununu and other state officials anticipate making a major financial and tourism-related decision in the next several months that would affect the state-owned and operated Cannon Mountain Ski Area in Franconia Notch State Park. Longtime park and ski area general manager John “J.D.” DeVivo laid out the options being considered at the July 14 meeting of the  governor and Executive Council hosted by District 1 Executive Councilor Joe Kenney of Wakefield at the ski area’s Peabody Lodge. Many on hand at the meeting rode up the Aerial Tramway to enjoy a soup-and-sandwich lunch. Three options are already being discussed: 1) refurbishing and upgrading the existing 80-passenger Tram II; 2) replacing this aging tram with a brand-new one designed to carry 100 passengers; and 3) scrapping the tram entirely and replacing it with a multi-gondola lift system, similar to one recently installed at the Bretton Woods Ski Area, off Route 302.
