The New England Ski Museum

     The New England ski museum is located at the base of Cannon Mountain.  it describes the history of the ski and snowboard industry that we have evolved into today.  This ski museum focuses mostly on New England, and the series of events that lead up to the first successful ski area's.  here they had so many interesting artifacts and trinkets that helped to show what the history of the ski industry looked and felt like. after the museum we traveled up the tram to the peak of cannon, where we were able to get a look around and hike up to the fire-tower.  Cannon is a pretty incredible mountain hosting tons of history and rich life.
     Also this week we met with Thom Anderson's program planning class in order to finalize details and events leading up to the chili cookoff.  it is stressed that communication between parties is crucial and could be a deciding factor in the success of the project.  right now things are looking pretty good, and the anticipation is growing as the event gets closer
