2012 Important Season Notice

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Pat Bahr

Dear South Peak Resort Owners,

Loon has the most Spring terrain and snow in New Hampshire, so it’s not too late to enjoy the sunny skies and fun! It has been a great winter season this year due to the tremendous snowmaking and grooming efforts of the Loon staff. However, due to the record high temperatures this past week, South Peak, the warming hut and the homeowner lift are now closed for the season. The Loon shuttle bus will run through this Sunday, March 25th and Loon intends to be open through Sunday, April 8th.  For up to date information check Loon’s website for their snow conditions.

Local Spotlight: The Vineyard at Seven Birches

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Erin Hershey

oenology –n. [ee-nol-uh-jee]:  the study of wine.

In the wake of our Maple Sugaring post last week, I’d like to introduce you to another delightful local aspect of this season.

Seven Birches, nestled inside of Windy Ridge Orchard

Many of you may know Mark LaClair as the Executive Director of the Lincoln-Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, but locals here know him by another title:

Mark LaClair, Vintner.

While maple sap boils and bubbles down into sweet syrup at farms nearby, LaClair is preparing to unveil the latest treats from his winery – The Vineyard at Seven Birches.

NCCA Looking Forward to 2012

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Erin Hershey

Local supporters had the opportunity to sign the beams that would form the internal structure of Jean's Playhouse.

One year ago the Papermill Theatre held a wonderful ceremony, “Raise the Roof!”.  As we watched from below, a steel beam was lifted by crane up into its final resting place as part of Jean’s Playhouse infrastructure, the Papermill’s new home, adorned by dozens and dozens of signatures of local supporters.

Here is the same beam, one year later!

Maple Sugaring Season in New Hampshire

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Lacey Lee

New Hampshire’s maple sugaring season has begun! A long-standing tradition synonymous with spring, the season runs from late February to early April typically depending on location and weather. This industry contributes $5 million dollars annually to New Hampshire’s state economy and typically provides 90,000 gallons worth of maple syrup, though last year’s season reported a record of 125,000 gallons of syrup. Now put that number into perspective with this fact: roughly forty gallons of sap are required to make one gallon of syrup!

The Kup is Half Full! (The Kostick Kup, that is.)

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Erin Hershey


This amazing annual event, produced by New England Disabled Sports, is right around the corner – this coming Saturday, March 10th!

Twenty-three years ago, New England Disabled Sports created the event in remembrance of their dear friend Lorey Kostick, an avid ski racer and supporter of NEDS.  Today, the Kostick Kup is the organization’s largest fundraiser for their equipment, needs-based scholarship program, and year-round adaptive programs.  Following the all-day race, a dinner and live auction will be held at the Beacon Resort.  Every penny goes to support the continuation of NEDS’ incredible cause.

More Winter on the Way at South Peak

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Lacey Lee

I don’t know about you, but I think all of us at South Peak met the Groundhog’s recent discovery of his shadow with enthusiasm. More winter means more snow and more time spent on the mountain with you! Speaking of, don’t forget to check out this weekend’s events, including Love in Stockholm in Loon’s Bunyan Room tomorrow night, with NEDS Ski-and-Ride Challenge to follow on Sunday!

As you might have noticed during your recent excursions at South Peak, our community is growing every day! Check out the photo below from homesite32!

South Peak Resort on Loon Mountain | White Mountains, NH

View of mountains from the hill near Riverside Condos

This weekend brought the area some snowy weather, with clouds breaking Sunday to reveal clear skies. Today and tomorrow will see chances of snow with a partly sunny weekend ahead, which should lead to some nice outdoor conditions while snowmaking continues on the mountain. Good conditions are especially welcome as Loon has several events worth looking forward to this week and into the weekend on the mountain, including the CASA SnowFest and NEDS Ski-and-Ride Challenge.

Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter to get a heads up on events and the latest at South Peak Resort on Loon Mountain!
