CONWAY — With Christmas Week coming up, it’s time for ski season to kick into high gear.
Thanks to a little help from Mother Nature this past Tuesday, with 4-6 inches of natural snow falling and good, cold, snow-making temperatures in the days after, conditions are looking good at local areas heading into the weekend.
