About the Snow

This Week: POWDER DAY! Are there two better words in skiing than “Powder Day”? We can’t think of any! And, last Friday, we had a classic powder day in the Mt. Washington Valley. Beautiful views and fresh tracks as far as the eye could see. Powder Day at Attitash. Photo by Laura Tuveson. Tracks with a view at Cranmore. Photo by Kathy Bennett. For more shots of the powdery goodness, check out our Flickr gallery. It’s packed with shots from around the Mt. Washington Valley. More snow in the forecast and detailed snow conditions and trail counts from the ski resorts and Nordic centers are available from the Snow Reports in the sidebar. Weather Report As we head toward the weekend, we have a classic “if this happens” weather scenario tomorrow. The good news is that our chance for all snow in the Mt. Washington Valley is very, very good. In fact, if all things swing our way we could be talking about some significant accumulation. It looks like we’re in for another powder day, and terrific conditions for the weekend. Right now, the groomers are taking center stage. After the hard work of the snowmakers early in the season, the groomers are out each night making things smooth and silky. On the Nordic trails, the skate lanes and classic tracks will be in prime condition for the weekend. Weather, snowmaking and grooming updates can always be found on the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. Better than a Free Lunch: Free FUN! It’s been said there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but the Mt. Washington Valley does have plenty of free opportunities to have some fun in the snow. In our minds, that’s better than any lunch menu. Here’s a look at some of the free activities around the Mt. Washington Valley: Quick Tips at King Pine: Every Sunday morning. Join a pro from the King Pine Ski & Snowboard School for a complimentary 1-run Quick Tip (must purchase a lift ticket to participate). Available every non-holiday Sunday from 9-10am. Look for the Quick Tip tent at the base of the Polar Bear Triple chair lift. Friday Night Lights at Settlers’ Green: Every Friday night in February. Free hot chocolate, bonfire and VIP cards. 4-8pm. Jerry’s Free Ride Wednesdays at Red Parka Pub: Wednesdays in February. Be in the Pub between 6-8pm and as Jerry gives away lift tickets to all of the best ski areas. Audubon Snowshoe Tours at Purity Spring Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary: Saturdays in February. This guided tour departs from The Mill Indoor Pool & Fitness Center at Purity Spring Resort at 2pm every Saturday. Free for Purity Spring Guests and King Pine skiers with ticket.  Complimentary with regular trail pass fee. Weather dependent. Thom’s Amazing Waxing Demonstration: Every Tuesday. Thom will teach you how to maintain waxless and waxable skis – Classic and Skate.  Well maintained skis are more fun and easier to ski on.  – Free! The session takes place in front of the fireplace in the Jackson Ski Touring Center Up, Up, Up Mt. Washington Each summer, hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to Mt. Washington-the highest peak in the Northeast. In winter, visitors are far fewer, but those intrepid souls get to see the beauty of winter up close and personal. Here are a few ways to see Mt. Washington in winter: SnowCoach - The SnowCoach at the Mt. Washington Auto Road is indeed a unique way to travel. These same custom built Chevy passenger vans ferry guests up the Auto Road in summer, albeit with four tires instead of the winter treads. Capable of carrying up to 9 passengers, each trip up the road in a SnowCoach can be as unique as a snowflake, with no two ever being exactly alike. The SnowCoach tour up Mt. Washington takes approximately 1 ¼ hours and departs daily, weather permitting, on a first come, first served basis. The price for adults is $45, $30 for kids ages 5-12. Ski to the Clouds - North America’s Toughest 10K! Cross country skiers race up Mt. Washington! Race begins on the trails at Great Glen Trails and then up to the finish at treeline on the Mt. Washington Auto Road, Ski to the Clouds includes a climb of more than 2200 vertical feet over the final 6 kilometers. The race is a true freestyle event: skiers can use either skating or classic technique. Limited to 150 competitors. College or High School Students $25/Individual $45 Winter EduTrips - Join the Mt. Washington Valley’s very own weather experts from the Mt. Washington Observatory at the top of New England’s Highest Peak on a Winter EduTrip. These special trips are a chance to experience the remarkable vistas of snow-covered peaks and Mount Washington’s winter secrets that are known only to the most intrepid mountaineers. EduTrips leave from the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road at 8:30 A.M. on the first day of the trip, spend the night at the Observatory on the summit, and then return to the valley on the following afternoon (weather permitting). The trip includes transportation to and from the summit via snow tractor, several classroom sessions and/or outdoor field trips, tours of the Observatory and the summit area, meals, overnight lodging in bunkrooms, and a certificate of course participation. The cost is $459 for members of the nonprofit Mount Washington Observatory and $499 for non-members. Valley Girl Videos Hang out with “Valley Girl” as she takes on the adventures of the White Mountains! Every week she will be taking on a new adventure and letting you see it from first person view! Check out what the “Valley Girl” is up to next in the Mt. Washington Valley! This week, Valley Girl learns to ins and outs of ice climbing with the Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School.

The class is designed for students who want to learn how to paint in oils or to improve their skills.  Students will paint from a still life set up, landscape images, photos or special projects. Through instruction, demonstration and one-on-one attention, students should complete several paintings by the end of the class. Owen follows on Friday January 27th with the start of a lecture series on “How to Understand and View Fine Art”. This series is free to members will end with a guided trip to an Art Museum. February begins with “Watercolor for the Absolute Beginner” by Sharon Soule This class begins on Wednesday February 1st and is designed for those who have limited or no watercolor experience.   At the first class, the materials you will need will be discussed. Then, you will learn the basics of this expressive medium and practice watercolor techniques and painting principles with a different project each week.

During this six-week course beginning February 2nd, you will cover types and applications of various pastels, pastel pencils and pastel papers, color theory, and experimental pastel methods. The class will work primarily from still life arrangements, but may work on landscapes en plein aire (weather permitting).  This class will be taught by Valley newcomer Nancy White Cassidy, who has taught extensively throughout Connecticut and Vermont and currently teaches for the MWVAA and privately at her studio. Registration is now open for all classes and will be accepted up to one week prior to the class start date. All classes will be held in the MWV Visual Arts Center at 16 Norcross Place. Scholarships are available. Complete information including course descriptions, faculty bios, registration forms and the scholarship application process can be found online or by calling 603-356-2787. The Mt. Washington Valley Arts Association is an independent, community focused, non-profit organization, which exists to promote the study, appreciation and display of the visual arts, particularly the art of the Mt. Washington Valley.    Gafney Library The Arts Association Members have been invited to participate in a March exhibit at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville NH.  There is room for about 30 pieces of original art and some space for 3 dimensional work.  The exhibit will run from Saturday March 3rd until Saturday March 31st.  If you are interested in having your work displayed, please call the MWVAA office to register.  We will arrange to transport and hang the works.  We will need to have the title, medium and price for the pieces at the time of registering.  Please register by February 15th and you should plan to drop off the work by February 24th.  There is no charge for displaying your work but a small donation to the Library would be appreciated. The North Conway Library on Main Street in North Conway will be holding their annual book sale on July 14th and 15th of 2012.  In conjunction with the book sale, they will be offering spaces for local artisans to display and sell their mediums.  The members of the Arts Association are invited to participate in this two day event.  Watch future newsletters for more information on how to participate in this event.Life Drawing will be undergoing some changes for the new year.  In order to ensure there is enough income to pay the model for the session, we will change the format from a drop-in to a pay in advance commitment.  There will be a $60.00 charge for 6 consecutive sessions.  A model will be at every session and those who would like instruction will have that available to them.  As always if you prefer to work on your own, you are welcome to do so.  If you have purchased punch cards, we will pro-rate the fee you paid for the punch card into the cost of the session.    The sessions will resume on January 9th. Starting on Friday January 27th, we will be showing a video series on how to view and understand fine art. “Art can be an intimidating, even overwhelming subject, especially without a good foundation on which to base your views. These 2 hour lectures (18 in all) offer that foundation. These lectures do not emphasize dates and events, instead they introduce you to the most essential features of every work of art, including color, line, perspective, composition and shape as well as less understood but no less important elements such as point of view, time and motion, and light and texture. We will feature close to 600 art works by hundreds of artists from Michelangelo through Nancy Holt. Reading a work or art is like reading a book, once you learn a visual vocabulary, you will become a confident viewer.” The videos will be shown at 6pm, please call 356-2787 to register. These presentations are for members at no charge but a donation to cover the cost of the program would be appreciated.  At the end of the series, we will plan a trip to an Art Museum. Our newly formed “Special Events” committee will meet today at 3pm.  If you are not able to meet today but are interested in participating in planning and volunteering to be part of the group that makes things happen, please let us know.  It takes lots of “hands” to put on these events and we appreciate all who help.

Black Mt. Hosts 11th Snow Sculpting Competition This Weekend!!

Black Mountain hosts the 11th New Hampshire Sanctioned & Jackson Invitational Snow Sculpting Competition

January 28th, 29th and 30th

The snow covered Black Mountain Resort and the Village of Jackson New Hampshire is preparing for one of it’s favorite events of the year: The 11th New Hampshire Sanctioned & Jackson Invitational Snow Sculpting competition. Beginning at noon on Friday January 27th teams from all over the Northeastern part of the United States will converge on this quintessential New England family mountain village. Sculpting will begin on Friday the 27th, continue through the weekend and finishing by noon on Sunday the 29th.

Spectators are welcome to view the entire process but to see finished pieces we highly recommend you come back on Sunday the 29th. These amazing sculptures, frozen in time, will remain on display for at least a week after the event giving visitors ample time to get coveted photos. At night, during the event, the Sculptures are lit up giving them an entirely different perspective. With more than a dozen teams expected this year the viewing promises to be spectacular!

Jackson is surrounded by 750,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest and has held a special attraction for visitors for over 200 years that has reached around the globe. The area’s landscape is picturesque, complete with a Historic Covered Bride, White Steeple Churches, Mountains and Rolling Farm Land. Combine that with a diverse selection of Lodging, Dining and Attractions, Jackson is a major four season resort destination and just the right place for this Grand Event.

There will be a bon fire for roasting of marshmallows, possibly a torch light parade, a scavenger hunt, and more planned throughout the event. The admission for viewing is free, ski tickets sold separately and we highly recommend the skiing. We invite the public to attend the welcome dinner on Saturday evening and the awards banquet on Sunday afternoon for details please visit our website at www.JacksonNH.com or call the Chamber office at 603-383-9356. Each year this event becomes more fascinating with more and more teams and creativity.

Annual Military Salute Weekend at Attitash was great!!

Attitash Mountain Resort hosted the 5^th Annual Military Salute Weekend last weekend. We had a wonderful time at the annual Flag Parade and Ceremony on Spillway and the Attitash Main Base Area.

Each year, we include all five military branch flags in the parade, as well as nine American flags and one large American flag to lead the parade. The public are invited to join the parade as well as the Attitash Season Program children. The Bartlett Fire Department volunteers each year to raise the Garrison flag with the ladder truck. It is quite the scene and a great event.

Here are some images from the event!

Cranmore Snow Alert!

Dear Snow Fans: Great news fans of Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway, NH!!! Thanks to a fast moving Alberta Clipper (as the weathermen like to call it) we got half a FOOT of puffy light snow overnight. These are truly the best conditions of the season just in time for the weekend. Below are some of the great photos from first tracks this morning. Check out a full photo gallery here. We have plenty of room in our famous KidsCamps this weekend – book them online in advance and save $10. Details here. See you on the slopes this weekend! With conditions like this, there is NO excuse. Get on up here!

About the Snow!

This Week: Ahhh, Winter! Winter came to the Mt. Washington Valley for a fantastic MLK weekend on the slopes and trails. New snow is just what the doctor ordered, and thanks to the great base laid down by the snowmakers, the groomers were able to put out some sweet corduroy.  We’ve seen additional snow in the mountains since our MLK weekend storm, and we’re now convinced that more is in the future. Now’s the time to come to Mt Washington Valley for your winter escape! Corduroy at Black Mountain. Photo by Krissy Fraser. Distracted by the view at Bretton Woods. Of course, just because Mother Nature was helping us out, it doesn’t mean that the snowmakers are taking a break. The snowguns are still firing opening up more terrain and improving the conditions. Haven’t made it up to the Valley yet? If our Flickr gallery doesn’t convince you, we’re not sure what else will. Detailed snow conditions and trail counts from the ski resorts and Nordic centers are available from the Snow Reports in the sidebar. Weather Report Envision your perfect winter day: Bluebird skies, glistening snow and smiles all around. Have that picture in your head? That’s exactly what we have on tap for the next few days in the Mt. Washington Valley. It’s a great time to get out and play. Just don’t forget your sunglasses. With this weather, the snowmakers will be able to buff the slopes each night, and the groomers will be smoothing it all out. Packed powder as far as the eye can see. Weather, snowmaking and grooming updates can always be found on the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. Carve Some…Ice! Top sculptures from around New England returned for the 17th Annual Ice Carvers of New England Invitational Ice Carving Competition at The Wentworth Hotel. Dennis Hickey, co-owner of Ice Breakers, won first prize for his magnificent dragon. Second place winner was Chris Gould for his carving of a fish swimming through the sea grass, and third prize went to David Soha for his carving of Tinkerbell. The ice carvings were judged on workmanship, creativity and technical difficulty. Nine extraordinary ice carvings will be displayed on the veranda of The Wentworth. * The Wentworth reserves the right to cancel the contest anytime if they feel the ice sculptors have been tampered with. * Certain Holiday Weekends are excluded from the offer.
