New England Ski Museum (Cannon Mt.)

On thursday, our class went to the new england ski museum to look at the exihbit. We met at 9 a.m. and drove about an hour to Cannon mountain. When we go there it was really amazing looking at the franconian notch. Then we walked to the museum and entered to be greeted by the nice people working the museum. They first thing we got to see and actually hold were bronze, silver and gold olympic medals. They were really heavy and neat to look at in real person. The next thing i checked out in the museum was the old clothing they used to wear skiing. The clothing was really weird compared to what we wear today and it did not look warm. Next to that were about 100 patches of some ski clubs that have went to cannon in the past. Shawan actually noticed that the lyndon outing club was up there too which was neat. The last thing that got my interest was the old snow gun. It was amazing that that old thing worked at one time! After we got through the museum we watched a presentation about the history of resorts and skiing in new england. I actually new alot of the information because i wrote my lift operations paper on all of the same info. After we were done in the museum we got to ride on the tram up tp the top of the mountain!! it was soo awesome because ive never actually been on a tram that big! When we got up to the top they had a cafeteria and we all ate and explored a little. Overall it was a good day and i would really like to go back!!
