BRETTON WOODS — The New England Ski Museum’s 2025 Spirit of Skiing Award was presented to the combined McLane and Macomber families on Saturday at the Omni Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods. The award was inspired by the late Otto Schniebs who famously said, “Skiing is not just a sport, it’s a way of life."
