CONWAY — Next week, the New England Ski Museum invites all fourth-grade students from SAU 9, Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School, and Freedom Elementary to a special journey through New Hampshire’s rich skiing heritage as they board the Conway Scenic Railroad for an educational adventure to North Conway on Nov. 4 and 5.
Next Wednesday and Thursday, the local students will participate in a re-enactment of the historic 1939 arrival from Nazi custody of Austrian Skimeister Hannes Schneider (1890-1955), who played a pivotal role in shaping the region’s skiing culture and economy.
