The Mount Washington Valley Alpine Education Foundation wants to make ski racing affordable to local children from working class families.
The non-profit organization (mwvskiteam.org) oversees about 140 young skiers from around New England through the Mount Washington Valley Ski Team and Cranmore Race Team, and has distributed nearly $30,000 through its scholarship program in 2021 to help offset racing expenses like gear, travel, camps and coaching.
