Gunstock going the way of Sunapee?

[Peter Minde]

Interesting article on Gunstock in NH. I skied there once the day after a race.... a cool place.

Inside an ugly battle over the future of Gunstock ski resort in New Hampshire - The Boston Globe

Everyone involved can agree that the region’s only county-owned ski resort is something special. But that might be the only thing they can agree on.

In before it gets shut down for “politics”.

Libertarian groups are attempting a slow speed coup of almost all power structures in NH.

The part about:
"And when I press him to sketch me a picture of a privatized Gunstock, he expresses hope that the ski area could become another Mount Sunapee, the state-owned resort that has, since 2018, been leased by Vail. “Sunapee is the model,” Silber says."

VailFail's shouldn’t be models, just saying.

Honestly, I was thinking more about the possible Vail-ization of a place whose skiers like it as much as people like Mad River Glen, Magic, or Plattekill.. @Harvey, if it's political, kindly delete. Thank you,

I wish I could find the URL for this one. Article about a NH town that libertarians from all over moved to, and they took over the town gov't. Things went downhill from there.

Town is Grafton. Not far from where I live. Started as an article for either New York mag or the New Yorker, not sure which.

It is now a book entitled A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear. It’s very funny, although the author is a bit condescending towards all small town NH residents, not just the influx of Libertarians.

For some context about our quirky state of NH and the people who move here to follow an untested ideology:

Who are the free staters?

CACR32, an amendment calling for New Hampshire’s independence from the United States, was shot down on the house floor two weeks ago, but the Libertarian and anti-federalist attitudes behind it

Another turnover on the horizon for Gunstock Commission

GILFORD — Hospitality entrepreneur Rusty McLear could well be off the Gunstock Area Commission soon, now that the Belknap County Delegation has scheduled a meeting for next month to consider
