CONWAY — It was a perfect bluebird day at Cranmore Mountain Resort last Saturday for the 25th annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup following a year’s hiatus after the fundraiser for the New England Ski Museum was canceled due to COVID-19.
Among participants at this year’s opening ceremonies was Gov. Chris Sununu, introduced by Roy “the Skiing DJ” Prescott of local radio station WMWV 93.5-FM as “the Skiing Governor,” referring to Sununu having been CEO at his family’s Waterville Valley Resort prior to being elected governor.
