Waterville Valley, WV NH

Tucked away in the southern part of the Whites, this ski resort has one of the nicest approaches. Just don't speed because there is always a police car lurking behind the next bend in the road. Conditions were far from perfect - few trails open and heavy wet snow.

I did return later in the season and skied at their Nordic center which was fun. However, it's really set up for skate skiing races so many of the trails appear more like highways than intimate cross country ski paths.

Boarded Waterville Valley for the second time last Friday (3/27/09) in beautiful spring skiing conditions. The view from anywhere on the slope is stunning and absolutely marvelous.
