Hurricane Irene- Kind to South Peak Resort

Hurricane Irene, as hurricanes go, was kind to South Peak Resort, despite some power outages. The early reports this morning from Pat Bahr, GM at South Peak, reveal that despite wind gusts there were no trees down nor was there damage to any home or building on the property. The Pemi River, on the property's north border, crested at twenty-three feet but is receding quickly. South Peak Resort on Loon Mountain fared well in foul weather. Please refer to this press release from the Town of Lincoln regarding the area and access to South Peak Resort through Cooper Memorial Bridge only.

Thanks to Deb and the fun staff at Ski Fanatics, forty-one of us pushed off down the river from Robin's Nest in Thornton, and cruised six miles down the Pemigewasset River to the Route 49 bridge in Campton during a home owner kayaking event subsidized by Terramesa Resorts. Here are some pictures!

Home Owner Hike & NCCA Theatre Night

It's been a great summer so far, and we would like to share some photos from two recent South Peak Resort events! On June 25th, we hiked Indian Head trail up Mount Pemigewasset with Jerry Rivers, a local guide with a passion for leading hiking and nature enthusiasts through the many trails this area has to offer. It was such a fun day - here are a few pictures from our trek on the Indian Head Trail up Mount Pemigewasset:
The NCCA Papermill Theatre graciously hosted a wonderful theatre night for South Peak owners on July 2nd. Not only did we have a fantastic barbecue, but we laughed the night away while viewing, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," a terrific performance by the Papermill's 2011 company! As a playbill sponsor for the Papermill, South Peak Resort is delighted to see that the construction of the Jean's Playhouse is coming along nicely. If you wish to support the completion of this outstanding new facility, which also boasts a spectacular Children's Theatre, please visit http://www.papermilltheatre.org/.

South Peak is simply gorgeous with all of the new flora making an appearance. While breathtaking with the winter snowfall, or fall foliage, everything is so green and fresh in the spring and summer! Here is a picture taken on an afternoon stroll.

(Reminder: the annual South Peak Resort Homeowner's Association meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 4th, 2011, starting at 9am, at the Pemigewassett Base Camp.)

Welcome, Spring!

The winter season was amazing, but it's time to hang up the skis, snowboards, and snowshoes -- Spring weather is finally here! Lincoln is alive with a variety of birds, the steady cheeping of Peepers throughout the night, the roaring of the Pemigewassett River, and occasional rumbling thunder storms. The past few days have been very nice, with temperatures approaching the mid-70s. Most of the snow has melted throughout the South Peak Resort property, and green grass, daffodils and the budding trees are simply gorgeous.
