I took one of two bucket list jobs a few years back and became a tram operator at Cannon. It cost me more to drive there than I earned, but still was worth every minute. Here's a fun fact from that stint, on the day that Mt Washington recorded 231 mph the tram top hut recorded 204. Mt Lafayette on the other side of Franconia Notch is ~1200 feet higher but has no recording station. What do you suppose the wind speed was there?
