NH House voting on free ski passes for lawmakers [View all]

CONCORD, N.H. —New Hampshire's House is voting this week whether lawmakers should get free ski passes for Cannon Mountain.

The majority of the Legislative Administration Committee is recommending killing a bill Wednesday that would grant the legislative perk.

A one-day lift ticket is $70 for an adult and the bill allowed unlimited free access.

Opponents say using the perk a half dozen times would be worth twice as much as lawmakers' biennial salary.

Supporters argue that lawmakers have open access to state parks which promotes awareness of the locations.
