POST-ELECTION, HAPPY EARLY NOVEMBER. It’s been awfully warm so far, but the signs of the season are returning, topped by the Eastern Slope Ski Club’s 52nd annual Ski Sale, which kicked off at the North Conway Community Center Friday and continues from 9 a.m. to noon today. I stopped by Thursday to see the equipment being brought in by volunteers who were carting in equipment from local ski shops. Later, residents brought in their gear to be tagged and put up for sale.
Longtime ESSC sale organizer Terry Love of Bob & Terry’s Sports Outlet and Cranmore Snowsports Hall of Fame veteran ski instructor Mary Hoyt were helping out.
