CONWAY — Glory be, the snow gods have smiled down on Mount Washington Valley, as we’re all in for some great spring skiing on the tracks and trails, following the three Nor’easters in March that left up to 5 feet of snow in the White Mountains.
It’s also St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, which may make for some green beer for apres ski, depending on where you go.
