CONWAY â The Skimobile climbs up and down Mount Cranmore. An orchestra is playing at the Eastern Slope Inn. The Jack Frost and Carroll Reed shops vie to outdo each other in high ski fashion. And Miss Eastern Slope is set to be crowned at the Winter Carnival Ball on Saturday night at John H. Fuller Elementary.
Wait, what kind of time warp is this, anyway?
Itâs the best kind: Easily accessible. In these troubled pandemic times, traveling back to the more carefree era of the Sixties seems like a good cure for all of us, doesnât it?
And all you have to do is stop by the North Conway branch of the New England Ski Museum to immerse yourself in the pages of the Eastern Slope Signal, a winter tourism newspaper that thrived from 1963-75.
HO, HO, HO, to all ye fellow last-minute shopping elves. Looks like Santa gave us all what we most wanted for Christmas â snow!
Although we didnât get the jackpot that other parts of New Hampshire received, weâll take the 6-11 inches that the Norâincher (as my buddy Roy âthe Skiing DJâ Prescott of WMWV 93.5-FMâs âMorning Weather Showâ likes to call it) did give us Thursday.
According to WMUR-TV 9 meteorologist Mike Haddad, top N.H. snow ville was Croydon with 44 inches, followed by Claremont with 43, Springfield with 42, Cornish with 40 and New London (36 inches).
AFTER THURSDAYâS FRESHIES, IT WAS WONDERFUL Friday morning to take in the always spectacular sight of new snow and dazzling sunshine.
