Waterville Valley

Pros: Good beginner slope served by a Quad; nice village area with many lodging options.
Cons: Grooming, lodges run down, dirty restrooms; no capital improvements last several years

We visited Waterville 1/25 - 26, 2003. We went with a ski club so we got a group rate on lifts and lodging. Waterville does not have slope side or base accommodations; instead the lodging is at the base of the access road. The "Village" is very nice with...

Pros: cozy village feel
Cons: can't walk to the lifts

Waterville Valley is a quaint "ski village" in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Unlike other resorts, it is not laid out along a highway, but is instead a little village on its own. It is somewhat "manufactured" in feel,...

Pros: Long lift lines
Cons: Only $15 for a child, anytime

Waterville Valley has 52 trials and 2 high speed quads, which makes for a great uphill capacity. However, because Waterville Valley is only 2 hours away from Boston it tends to be very crowded on the weekends. Waterville Valley is ideal for...

Pros: Fun Trails
Cons: very crowded, poor conditions

When I went to Waterville Valley over the weekend, I was very dissapointed with the wait on each lift line. Because it is close to Boston, it is always very crowded, and this becomes a problem when you are going down the trails.

Many times...

Pros: all inclusive, free rentals
Cons: A few high priced resteraunts

Waterville Valley is not just for skiers in the winter months. During the summer all of the living quarters give great deals. You can stay at one of the inns for as little as $29.00 a night. With that price you also receive free mountain bike rental,...

Pros: Nice boardpark and trails
Cons: Ice and that one lift

This is a great place to ski or snowboard. I forget what month I went but it was nice. It is cheap (I got an under 13 ticket for $13!). They have good prices (and I highly recommend the food).If you don't stay right at the mountain there are many...

Pros: There are so many different activities for all age groups
Cons: It's difficult to find a parking space nearby

I have been going up to Waterville Valley with my family for as long as I can remember. It's a gorgeous place to be in both summer and winter, and I still look forward to going up. Whether it be to ski, hike, bike, horseback ride, skate, or just go up to...

Pros: Price, Activities, Everything
Cons: N/A

I have been heading up to Waterville Valley, NH for the past 5 years, I love it! There is biking, hiking, canoeing, ice skating (yes in the summer), swimming, shopping, Golfing, Extreme Mountain Biking and so on. It's much less packed with people in the...

Pros: Great view, quick lines, fast quad, nice trail setup
Cons: Not the greatest food bring a lunch

I have been skiing at Waterville Valley all my life now and compared to other resorts in New Hampshire i think that it is the best one. It has a great fast speed quad, very fast moving lines, and a great staff. The fact that the lines move so fast makes...

Pros: Size, snow quality, trails
Cons: Crowds, windy weather

As a freshman at Plymouth State College, almost all of my skiing and training has taken place at Waterville Valley this year. I feel as though I have found a new home mountain. Waterville is a gorgeous mountain located right off Rt 93.

I have a cabin in on a mountain not far from Waterville. This makes travelling to resorts easy. Waterville is one of my favorites. I snowboard and I used to ski. My favorite trail is Oblivion. I highly recommend it to anybody who is going there. My...
