CONWAY — The start of Cranmore Mountain Meisters’ 50th anniversary season has been pushed back a week to Jan. 13 to allow snowmaking crews to add to the snow cover of the race course on the Alley.

However, Meisters may use their passes for free skiing on Jan. 6 and because last season’s awards banquet was canceled, awards may be picked up on that day, said Meisters coordinator Kevin Hamlin and Cranmore Marketing Director Becca Deschenes.
