Loon Mountain, New Hampshire.

There's something timeless about riding a gondola through a snow-covered New England forest. Looking down over a landscape of birch, maple, beech, and other native hardwoods, this photograph captures a quintessential Northeastern winter experience.

Loon Mountain's classic four-person gondola offers a perspective that's becoming less common as ski resorts modernize their lift systems. Between the surrounding forest and the familiar silhouette of the gondola, it's a small piece of New England skiing that feels worth preserving.
