DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) A contractor who formed a partnership to buy the Balsams resort in northern New Hampshire shortly after it closed in 2011 has sold his share to current developer Les Otten, giving him 100% ownership of the resort and surrounding property. The Caledonian-Record reports Dan Hebert sold his 50% share of Balsams View LLC to Otten's North Country Coos LLC. Otten bought the other 50% from Dan Dagesse in 2017. Hebert said in.

In today’s world, it’s a bit lonely riding chairlifts. One of my great joys as a local is sharing a 5-minute ride with strangers who share my own passion and have chosen to visit our town’s resorts. It’s an opportunity to meet fascinating people and to share some community pride. That will come back in time. So, for today, we are left with that chairlift time to conjure up memories on our own.
It was a stormy day last week as I rode silently up Carpenter Express at Deer Valley looking out along the ridgelines toward Jupiter Peak, watching a storm roll in. It was a typical mid-December day as the winter snowpack was starting to evolve.
