Cannon Mt., Franconia, Green Tram and Racer — c. 1960s

A vintage Cannon Mountain ski patch, estimated to date from the 1960s, featuring a green tram car swinging from a black tower with silver cliffs behind it and a skier in a red sweater dropping through the spruces. CANNON MT. in red, FRANCONIA NEW HAMPSHIRE in yellow, blue shield with a red border.

The racing on Cannon is older than the tram. The Richard Taft Race Course was cut in 1931–32, when getting to the top meant walking.

The silver thread across the cliffs is the best detail here. Somebody tried to stitch granite and nearly got away with it. The skier hasn't looked up at the tram once. Racers never do.

Embroidered on twill, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
