We end our visit to Gunstock Mountain Resort with a series of frames and images from the video footage I captured that day, October 28, 2023. The beautiful fall colors of the natural surrounding that day will be an environment I won't soon forget.

When I first arrived in the vicinity of the mountain resort and saw other businesses with the name Gunstock in them, I thought I might be in Gunstock, New Hampshire. But that's not true, and yet it's understandable. According to Wikipedia, "Settled in 1778 and originally a part of Gilmanton, the town was first called Gunstock Parish." But a military officer residing there in 1812, who had fought in the Revolutionary War, successfully had the town's name changed to reflect a battle from the war. And it became Gilford, New Hampshire. A New Deal agency, one of many that provided employment and created public works projects in the United States during the Great Depression, is credited with building it. But it was first named the Belknap Mountain Recreation Area. The ski resort "had the first chairlift in the eastern United States. After the completion of the 60-meter ski jump, the first meet was held in February 1937." As the website for the Gunstock Mountain Resort explains, they offer a nice selection of several skiing activities that serve the novice skier, as well as the experienced athlete.
