CANNON MOUNTAIN (Franconia Notch State Park, NH)

The Easter Bunny is planning on making a special, snowy stop at Cannon Mountain for an Easter Egg Hunt all ages will remember! We’ll give you a few hints to get started: kiddos should ski Tuckerbrook to find their hidden eggs, while adults will have to take it to the next level (aka the entire mountain) to find the elusive Golden Egg, which contains a two-night stay at the Woodstock Inn and Brewery plus 2 adult lift tickets for the 2024/2025 season.
