CONWAY — Mount Washington Valley’s ski history was celebrated at the 22nd annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup, held March 9-11 at Cranmore Mountain Resort as a fundraiser for the New England Ski Museum.
Beginning with a reception, uphill EMS Schneider Sprint and torchlight parade Friday night, the event continued Saturday with opening ceremonies, a two-run dual giant slalom recreational race open to five-member teams, a silent auction featuring ski memorabilia, and music throughout by the Bavarian Brothers Band.
