CONWAY — With Mother Nature doing her part to lay down some natural white stuff, coupled with snowmaking efforts at local ski areas, interest is strong for the start of the ski and riding season.
It always helps when the trails open: Bretton Woods opened Nov. 26 with four trails and two lifts. Cranmore and Wildcat were both set to open Friday with Attitash, Black and King Pine opening in coming weeks.
