According to this article in Tuesday's Union Leader:
http://www.unionleader.com/Bill-woul...hose-65-and-up

"Senate Bill 441, approved by the state Senate and scheduled for consideration today in the House, would give Parks and Recreation latitude in setting discounts that the self-funded agency is now required by law to give to state residents who are 65 and older.

Currently, seniors receive free admission to the state’s 93 park facilities, including Cannon Mountain ski area, the Cannon Tramway and the Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park.

The bill would eliminate free weekday skiing at Cannon, but offer seniors up to two-thirds off during the week and one-third off on weekends and holidays."

The caption under a picture of Cannon says: "Free skiing for seniors at Cannon Mountain ski area will be the topic of conversation during an April 14 community meeting at Franconia Town Hall sponsored by the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation."
