Mount Sunapee Resort is a ski area and resort located in Mount Sunapee State Park in Newbury, New Hampshire, United States. ==History== Mount Sunapee's history as a ski area dates back to as early as 1940, when in response to the success of a tram at Cannon Mountain a survey was made for a similar tram on Mount Sunapee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of New Hampshire Skiing )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sunapee Mountain )〕 The following year, the state of New Hampshire passed the Mt. Sunapee Tramway Bill, which proposed the construction of a tram intended for sightseeing, though it was expected also to be used for skiing.〔 After World War II, the proposal was revisited, but it was found that the state didn't have enough money to construct a tram.〔 Instead, a chairlift was built, to the present-day location of North Peak.〔 During the 1950s and 1960s, the ski area continued to expand, with the construction of several surface lifts and chairlifts, including the opening of the summit of Mount Sunapee, above the original North Peak.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The History of Mount Sunapee )〕 Additional trails were cut and lifts installed until the 1980s. The first snowmaking capability was installed in 1982.〔 By the 1990s, however, the resort's facilities required more improvement than the state, which at the time still owned and operated it, had invested.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mt. Sunapee )〕 In 1998, the Mueller family, which operated and had significantly improved the Okemo Mountain Resort in Vermont, began leasing Sunapee from the state of New Hampshire.〔 Two new expansions for the ski area were proposed soon after this—the East Bowl and the West Bowl.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mount Sunapee Ski Area )〕 Due to the presence of old-growth forest in the proposed East Bowl, this proposal was dropped in 2000.〔 Sunapee went ahead with the West Bowl project, and purchased of land.〔 The expansion would include the addition of of skiable terrain and two lifts in the West Bowl, as well as upgrading the facilities on the main mountain, including the introduction of night skiing.〔 New Hampshire governor John Lynch, however, was opposed to the project, which as a result was placed on indefinite hold.〔 Instead, capital improvements were limited to the existing terrain, on which new lifts and snowmaking were built, as well as a new lodge.〔 In the summer of 2012 Sunapee opened a new "Adventure Center", which features a canopy zipline tour, a treetop obstacle course, guided Segway excursions, disc golf and daily rides up the Clipper Ship quad. This new expansion marked the beginning of an effort by Sunapee to become a four-season resort. Sunapee's ski racing program has seen a recent upsurge in the quality of many of its athletes. Patrick O'Donell, Benji Fréland, and Ineeda Hardkøc all raced under the Mt. Sunapee flag and "gallantly" triumphed, according to ''Ski'' magazine, at the U10 Junior Championships hosted at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in eastern Massachusetts. For the 2014-15 season, the Sun Bowl Quad was replaced with a Poma High-Speed Detachable Quad purchased from Okemo in Vermont. On April 16, 2015, Sunapee was given a conditional go-ahead on their West Bowl Expansion. The new complex would be completed by 2018, and would include replacing the Sunapee Express Quad with a High Speed Six-Pack. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Sunapee Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
