PINKHAM NOTCH — “WOO-HOO! WE DEFINITELY have the snow!” exclaimed Kathleen Flammia, executive director of the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce, speaking Friday morning about the more than 2 feet of snow we’ve gotten in the past week, perfect for so many things going on around the valley, on and off the slopes.
That includes the Jackson chamber’s 22nd annual N.H. Sanctioned and Jackson Invitational Snow Sculpting Competition, which returns for a second year to the lawn in front of the base lodge at Great Glen Trails in Pinkham Notch. It started Friday and runs through Sunday, Jan. 29.
