CONWAY — Thanks to a collaborative effort between the Pope Memorial Library, two local artists belonging to the Mount Washington Valley Arts Association and Cranmore Mountain Resort, visitors to the newly expanded and beautiful North Conway library may now enjoy two snowsports-oriented murals that adorn a north wall of the new addition and three reading-themed character murals on a wall of the library’s children’s room.
The first of the two snowsports murals created by local artist Sarah W. Eastman of Kearsarge depicts a vintage image of Austrian skimeister Hannes Schneider (1890-1955) riding up the former Skimobile at Cranmore (1938-1990, set against the backdrop of snow-covered Mount Washington. The second mural on the right wall shows a more modern image of a young snowboarder navigating his way down the trails at Cranmore.
