CONWAY – Gobble, gobble (and burp): Hope everyone got their fill of turkey and had a Hapy Thanksgiving, followed by a good walk — or in the case of Bretton Woods and Black Mountain, a ski run or two!
As of Friday, Bretton Woods had seven trails and three lifts open. Black opened with top-to-bottom skiing on Turkey Day. Black as of Friday had four trails and two lifts in operation. Go to blackmt.com for updates.
