Almost time to ski!

Guess what? Waterville will open for skiing and riding on Friday!

For those of you that live here in New England, you know that we don't have regular storm and weather patterns here on the east. The only thing that you can expect is a constant state of change. Our original plan was to open on the 20th; but mother nature had her say in that...

Since then, we've been able to blow a ton of snow from High Country all the way down to The Pasture! We're getting a little rain right now, but we're still pushing forward and staying positive. I have my skis waxed and ready to put turns in on Friday and you should too!

And I quote; "According to Rob Batchelder, Waterville's Mountain Manager, thanks to the past weekend of snowmaking at the summit, Waterville Valley will be opening on Friday, Nov. 26 as planned. Skiing and riding will be on High Country's Ruthie's Run and Scramble trails with service by the High Country Double Chairlift. The White Peak Quad will open for access to the summit at 8:00 am. The Schwendi Hutte and Base Lodge restaurants will be open plus Sport Thoma Retail and Repair Shops. Daily lift tickets will be $29 for adults, $20 for teens and college students and $15 for juniors. "

See you soon!
