The history of Loon Mountain Ski Resort can be traced back to former governor and New Hampshire native Sherman Adams.

Adams spent much of his time growing up in the town of Lincoln, New Hampshire, and attended nearby Dartmouth College.

After departing from his position of Chief of Staff in Eisenhower's cabinet, Adams proclaimed he went off "to operate a ski lodge" in 1958.

In 1985, the North Peak area was completed, featuring a CTEC triple and another lodge, and increasing Loon's vertical to 2,100 feet.

[3][4] Today, Loon Mountain has a total 73 trails and 13 chairlifts, with most of the original lifts being been replaced.

[8] In April 2024, South Peak Resort announced New England's first pulse gondola to connect the Riverwalk Hotel to the Timbertown learning complex.

[10] Booth Creek sold Loon Mountain to CNL Lifestyle in 2006, but continued to operate the resort.
