Nestled within the White Mountain National Forest, Loon Mountain shares its heritage with the hardy loggers of old New England. A spirit of rugged individualism and love of the outdoors are cherished traditions at Loon. Loon was established in 1966 when a new highway into the White Mountains opened up access possibilities to a hundred square miles of mountain wilderness.[more] Loon Mountain was chosen as the best location due to its fairly gentle inclines suitable for the intermediate skier, well-sheltered, northeast-facing slope and only scattered glacial boulders. The proximity to the nearby town of Lincoln and endorsement by Sel Hannah, a former Olympic skier who had planned over a hundred ski areas across the United States clinched the development. In 1998, Booth Creek Resorts purchased Loon Mountain. Booth Creek owns or operates resorts across the United States. However in 2007 the company sold the resort to an investment company on the understanding that Booth Creek continued to operate it. This allowed for finance in resort development to move forward and a long planned South Peak Expandsion began, bringing more lifts (two quads in the first year), more terrain and new resort base development. Today the resort is busy year round and has two base stations, linked by the quaint old JE Henry Steam Railroad.
