JACKSON — Of the 24 grand hotels that once graced the White Mountains in the 19th and early part of the 20th century, only five remain: the Omni Mount Washington Resort, Mountain View Grand, Eagle Mountain House, Wentworth Resort and the Balsams.

The first four are still open — and if developer Les Otten succeeds in his plans to transform it into a world-class ski and year-round resort, the Balsams will join that select group, pending development plans.
