CONWAY — Tons of machine-groomed snow and sunny skies are in order for today, with lots going on at local alpine areas and ski touring centers as we head into the second weekend of March, and with another snowstorm on the way Sunday that is expected to bring another 5-8 inches this abundant season.
Highlights of the day today and tomorrow include the Military Salute Weekend at Attitash. Five-dollar lift tickets for active and veteran service men and women will be charged at Attitash and sister Peak Resort Wildcat, with proceeds donated to the Wounded Warrior Project as well as discounted lift tickets ($45 all ages) for active duty family members with a valid form of ID on March 9-10 at Attitash and Wildcat Mountains.
