CONWAY — As was the case last year, it’s not just snow that visitors and residents are concerned about — social distancing, masking and sanitary practices are at the forefront of everyone’s consciousness this holiday season with reported upticks in COVID-19 across New Hampshire.
Ski NH executive director Jessyca Keeler advises skiers and riders to check skinh.com or individual ski area websites belonging to the 33-member alpine and ski touring center association before setting out.
