Good times good times 02/20/2012 by: Anonymous Conditons were amazing considering the winter we have been having. Being a Saturday and first day of Mass. school vacation there were lots of skiiers/riders, but Waterville did an awesome job keeping the line moving. We bought tix at home and customer service had some problems converting to a hard ticket, sent us outside rather than trying to figure it out. She had no line and said she had been having the problem, wished she just took the time to help us. Nachos in "T-Bar" were clearly burnt and should not have been served. Would definitely come back because the ski conditions were AWESOME.

Powdah Powdah Powdah!03/02/2011 by: Anonymous We took adavntage of temperature Tuesday, $24, and it worked out to about a $1 a run with all the action we saw. No lift lines and the conditions are awesome. The only ice was at the top of the quad chair and other than that it was perfect. Sunny skies and minimal wind made for a great day. They're offering $25 tix Wed. and Thurs. for vacation...Take advantage of this great deal if you can!

Nice place, I'd like to return 01/18/2011 by: Sara Good terrain, kinda crowded, somewhat easy to get to. Friendly people. Really good weather, although it can get windy and icy sometimes near the summit, but most of the terrain for the summit isn't open half the time. I like this place a lot.

Great Day of skiing at Waterville Valley 01/05/2011 by: Anonymous My friend and I skied together at Waterville Valley yesterday on January 4, 2010. It had been two years since the two of us had been to this mountain. We enjoyed the variety of trails. The resort was doing a lot of snowmaking all day which was noticeable. During lunch we had hot chocolate which we enjoyed thoroughly. We noticed when we got back to skiing that it started snowing, we then enjoyed some greater skiing. I also wanted to comment on how friendly the lift employees where.

Love this place 12/26/2010 by: Stefany Cunningham I love skiing at W.V. They have awesome trsils and great service. Lift ticket prices are below the mega resort prices and the mid-week specials make it worth while to get there. WV also offers a 2-fer so that 2 people can ski for the price of one lift ticket, thats $26.00 for each person!! Snow/trail conditions are generally in great condition. Its a perfect place to go if you like or are an intermediate skier like myself. Also WV is closer than other Ski Resorts so it's easier to get to and a shorter drive time for myself and those coming up from Boston or points south. All in all a great place to spend a weekend or for the day

Sunday 12/19/201012/20/2010 by: Jacalyn L. $69 lift ticket felt a little steep for an early season ticket, although they did have a few trails on each side of the mountain open. All man made snow, hard packed, sold surface. Most trails were scrapped down with ice by mid morning, made for fast runs.

working with what they have 02/18/2010 by: Liz Hunt Went to Waterville for the 1st time and had a pretty good time. They haven't had much snow to speak of but they're making what they do have work. Granted there are plenty of bare spots and it can get pretty skied off and icy after lunch but overall pretty good. Everybody was very nice but I didn't have a sense of ski patrol. There were some careless, out of control young snowboarders that caused more than one collision and several near misses. As a mediocre skier on unfamiliar territory, I was shaken up a couple of times by the approaching crunch and crash of speeding, inexperienced snowboarders almost running me over from behind. Ever think about ski patrol keeping those trails safe for unsuspecting skiers or even a couple of snow board free trails? Also, I was disappointed in the food service. There was no microwave for me to heat up my soup and there were slim pickin's for a vegetarian. No veggie burgers? C'mon, guys! Nasty dripping, greasy pizza or a $12 veggie sandwich!!!

Waterville's Winter Wonderland 02/02/2010 by: Faye Guilmette We had the best time at Waterville Valley. This place has everything!!! There is so much to do besides skiing or snowboarding. I wish I could have stayed longer because once you are there, you have all of the amenities you would need without going anywhere for days! The slopes were top notch, lots of delicious food, drinks and shopping. What a great way to spend your winter days. Loved it so much.

Excellent!!! Easy from Boston...Try It!!!! 01/09/2010 by: Anonymous I travel to Waterville from Boston often and I highly recommend it to all. The mountain is challenging with bump runs or if your into the easy gliding there is trails "O" plenty. Another very important factor is the kindness of those who work at the mountain. Overall, the mountain is fantastic!! If you haven't tried it... give it a chance and you will not be dissappointed.

Nice to be back 12/07/2009 by: Liz Hunt It was really great to be back on the slopes but was it ever cold. The snow conditions were surprisingly good but only 1 short run was open at the very top. It was pretty crowded but the s n a i l s l o w lift helped to keep the numbers regulated on the mountain. Had excellent chili in the mountaintop restaurant. We'll probably be back.

Best in the East!! 11/19/2009 by: Ryan Flaherty Sunday River is by far the best mountain on the east coast! It has so much to offer. There's great trails for beginners and experts. There is something for everybody, if you want to go threw a skinny trail and zip past trees, or if you wanna go and hit some jumps with your buddies they have it all. Then when you need to warm up a little the lodge is amazing, It's cozy and very comfortable. The food is fantastic and not to expensive, so you wont break the bank on a family trip. I've been going to this mountain for years and I recommend it to all of my friends. You cant go wrong with Sunday River!

Great Spring conditions 04/04/2009 by: Bryan Langley The much anticipated end of my season trip came and went. As I am one who hates spring snow, I was not too enthused about a 50 degree day at the mountain. Much to my surprise my outlook changed. The mountain was in great shape and packed with preople. Who would of thought that a $1 lift ticket would be so popular.LOL. The parks were all open and most of the slopes were open. >80%. If waterville can be this fun all the time I will have to move closer. This is a definite recommended mountain. I will never turn down a chance to go again.

Good deal 02/03/2009 by: Jon Skiied WV Sunday Feb 1st. Was forecast to be 27 degrees on the mountain, didn't break 9 degrees all day! Oh well, they can't control the weather! Conditions were good, best at summit where virtually untouched. Kinda goofy that you need to take a high speed quad followed by a slow as dirt double to reach the summit. On-site food and beverage is nothing amazing but surrounding pubs buried in condoplexes are nice.

Awesome ski school 01/04/2009 by: Sherie Bourgeois My son took a lesson at Waterville and at first was scared of what to expect. The teachers made Jake feel very welcomed and at the end of the day he had gained much confidence and was feeling very comfortable with his skiing ability.

Lots of fun 01/23/2008 by: Lois Davis The mountain was in great shape. All of the attendants were extremey polite and helpful. The snow conditions were wonderful. have been skiing there for 25 years and will continue to. The $30 lift tix on Fri/Mon is well worth it. Nice place for the family all trails lead to the bottom. Can not lose a child. Love the badly needed renovations to the upstairs Ladies room in the main lodge. It is awesome, you can actually breathe in there now. Grooming was great. Keep up the good work

one of the greatest resorts! 01/06/2008 by: Anonymous Waterville is one of the oldest ski resorts and it is very special because of the different trails and magnificent view on the mountains on the top. Many ski teams are being trained here and it is often to see here racing competitions. We are not pro skiers but we really enjoyed its blue trails (well, all of the trails either blue or black). Some trails are wide, straight and speedy, some are narrow and with curves and slow but very nice to have some rest and time to look at the beautiful forest around. I am not sure if it is a good place for newcomers to go from top to the end of the trail, but they have for sure couple green trails and even special area for kids. I am sure you will not be disappointed especially if you go on the of those days (check out their web site, they have this special day every week), when you can buy 2 tickets for the price of one

Worth Visiting 11/25/2007 by: Adam Montrose Waterville Valley is one of the most serene places I've skied. The scenery and environment is beautiful and peaceful. You never want to leave. I love this resort. But I do not love their prices. They don't really offer any good deals and maybe they need to check out what other resorts are doing to get people on the slopes. They offer the $10 discount when you purchase in advance online and some bring a buddy deal for season pass holders but other than that they offer no deals that Im aware of and I can't find anything on the very vague website. The scenery brings me back to this mountain.

Doing a lot with a little 01/02/2007 by: Anonymous Face it - we need snow! They are doing a lot with a little and making it too. Conditions of open trails good in AM, but boilerplate by the afternoon. Great to be out there anyway, and the lower sections were all good on what was open. Parks were excellent.

Good for the intermediate 12/21/2006 by: Anonymous Waterville is a good overall family resort or if you are looking to learn to ski or ride. I took my first lessons here, years ago, on skis and the groomers are great for learning. Nothing too challenging for advanced skiers or riders but a great place to take the family.

Snowboard lessons for Kids12/04/2002 by: Peg Doyle I took my three grandchildren (ages 9,7, and 4) to Waterville Valley Resort on Saturday for their first experience with snowboarding. They were very excited about it and when we arrived I rented the equipment and purchased a lesson at 1:30 for the 2 older children. The results were very disappointing in that the instruction was given by two teenagers who seemed inexperienced in teaching the skills and communicating with the children. After the lesson the children said they had much more fun and learned much more on their own than they did with the teachers. I suspect that because the resort just opened this weekend that there was a bit of a learning curve for the instructors. However, I really feel I didn't get any value for the expense, and even more important, the children were discouraged by the experience. I'd like to take them again, but am hesitant to do so. Any advice?
