CONWAY — The ski season is ongoing at Wildcat Mountain and Bear Notch Ski Touring, and Black Mountain might squeeze in one more weekend, but with the season ended at all other alpine areas and ski touring centers in New Hampshire, operators are reporting a good and snowier than average season.
“We’re still going strong,” said Doug Garland of Bear Notch Tuesday. "We’ve got plenty of snow, at least a foot and a half and we expect to go at least through Easter Sunday and then we will assess where we’re at.”
