One of the oldest resorts in USA, Cannon Mountain Resort has had substantial investment for the 2013/14 season with newly developed dedicated beginner areas, new lifts and advanced snowmaking. This has meant more rapid progression for the 321ski groups and safer slopes for everyone.

Previously being traditionally seen as a resort specialising only in Intermediate and Advanced skiers, Cannon Mountain also has a dedicated beginners area. This extensive area is purely designed for beginners - separated from the rest of the resort, it is an excellent area for those new ot the sport to learn in absolute safety. Significant amount of tree felling and careful trail shaping has now meant that this resort truly caters for all, and so our 321ski school groups can be confident that Cannon offers something for every pupil.

Cannon lies in the Franconia Notch State Park has an elevation of 4000ft and a clever network of lifts serving all of the 70 trails. The home of US Olympic skier Bode Miller, our 321ski groups ski the same trails he learnt his trade before winning Gold at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010.

With the neighbouring ski resorts of Loon and Waterville close by our 321ski school ski trip packages typically involve 2 further days at another resort to add that extra quality to your week away.

The nearest accommodation is a mere 10 minutes away in the town of Lincoln. Our hotels are carefully selected to be as close as possible to the slopes whilst still offering nearby evening activities. With Boston only a few hours away as well, this allows our groups to have a wide variety of options from Ice hockey fixtures to 'proper' american bowling.
