CONWAY — "Bend ze knees!” it’s time again for the Hannes Schneider Meister Cup at Cranmore Mountain Resort! Still going strong in its 28th year, this weekend of skiing fun, food and legacy is happening March 7-9.

This major fundraiser for the New England Ski Museum is centered around a dual giant slalom race that draws 250 racers and countless spectators to honor the history of skiing in New England while paying tribute to Hannes Schneider, the pioneer who helped make skiing popular in North Conway, and the legendary 10th Mountain Division, America’s elite mountain troops.
