IT'S EASTER WEEKEND, AND even though it's late this year, coming on April 21 compared to April 1 last year, there's still skiing along the bunny trails at at least two local areas — Wildcat Mountain for alpinists and Bear Notch Ski Touring for cross country enthusiasts.
Hopping on-board the Easter fun is the newly reopened Conway Scenic Railroad, which is presenting its Easter Bunny Express today and tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Treats will be given to each child rider, we’re told. Call (603) 356-5251 for the scoop.
