CONWAY — On Nov. 1 and 2, fourth-graders from SAU 9 and SAU 13 will board the Conway Scenic Railroad and travel to North Conway to participate in the re-enactment of the 1939 arrival of Austrian Ski Master Hannes Schneider, who came to teach skiing at Cranmore Mountain, enhancing the foundation of the sport of skiing, now a pillar of the state of New Hampshire’s culture and economy.
This special event been named “In Martha’s Memory” in honor of the late Martha Coughlin Corrock. Corrock was a prodigy ski racer from New Hampshire and a superstar in national and international competitions. While working for the New England Ski Museum, she envisioned the school visits to bring the history of skiing to life for the students.
