Alpine Ski Lodge Planned in New Hampshire With Tram

WEST OSSIPEE, N. H. (U.P.) New England winter sports fans will have facilities comparable to the famous Alpine centers upon completion of a project on Mount Nickerson.

Plans call for the building of a tramway, a 50-room lodge at the summit, an observation platform, a concessions building and a series of over-night cabius on the mountain top. There will be numerous trails for the expert and the novice skier, a bob-sled run, a ski jump, a skating rink, a toboggan slide, and open slopes.

The development will cost about $500,000, of which nearly $250,000 will be needed for the tramway alone. The cars will be operated similarly to the Cannon Mountain system at Franconia.

Mount Nickerson is about 100 miles north of Boston, and is situated only a quarter-mile from the Mount Whittier railroad station, which means easy access for snow trains.

Among the directors of the project, which will be known as the "Bear Camp Tramway," are Gov. Francis P. Murphy, Sen. H. Styles Bridges, and Attorney Charles M. Dale, president, a member of the Governor's Council.
