This year, the signature super pipe on Waterville Valley's Exhibition Slope never got built, and Loon Mtn has been promoting their Loon super pipe as the only one in New Hampshire. Believe the WV super pipe was aproximately a three hundred yard long, 17' high, top to bottom engineered snow cat, ditch witch digger device creation that required a lot of man-made snow to get it built.

Wonder why the WV management decided to not build it this year? Was it the high price of diesel and electricity, of the lack of cold temps needed for efficient sno-making, or the timing of the higher temps with Christmas and Feb vacation......anybody know......how come the WV signature SuperPipe never got made this year? Understand at least a couple of weekend snowboard events had to be moved or cancelled.
