At Waterville Valley,
www.waterville.com , what's coming out of the snow wands or snow guns is most all water spray because the temp is 32 with relatively high humidity. Even with all the snow-making improvements and equipment up-grades, the laws of physics still apply here, so today, January 1, 2016, you get 9 out of 50 trails, 43 out of 220-acres, 11-inches snowfall total to date for the 'early season' price of $57 ........such a deal! And, the trails conditions are probably very over-optimistic.
Colder temps are due on Monday, Jan 4, so it looks like Christmas week was a very big, lost vacation business week ..... a lost ski Christmas....... boo-hoo!
