CONWAY — Great to see our local ski areas making snow! Bretton Woods re-opened Thursday. Cranmore on Friday was blasting out snow, shooting for a Nov. 28 opening, and Attitash, Black and Wildcat are also making the white stuff, with King Pine to start after Thanksgiving. Go to SkiNH.com for the latest updates.
A PERSONAL STORY: Thomas Wolfe once wrote that you can't go home again, in the sense that once you’ve left a place, it’s never the same. That may be true, but going back certainly brings up a lot of memories.
