CONWAY — The consensus among Mount Washington Valley businesses was that it was a successful Christmas and New Year’s Eve holiday, according to an informal survey distributed by the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce.
While concern about lack of snow going into the holiday weeks was on the minds of tourism businesses, the snowstorm dumping over a foot of snow right before New Year’s Eve alleviated that concern.
