Over the weekend, it was announced that Waterville Valley ski area, town square, and conference-concert-party center were all purchased by a local group headed by former Governor John Sununu, sons Chris & John and some other backers for a price that's less than 12-million dollars (?) and should be good for the ski area as old ners, Booth Creek of California had just been coasting along with WV for the last few years. A big bad cold & snowy winter would be helpfull, to double-power up the WV ski area back to its' former mecca as a ski racing event place.

It's about a one hour drive from the lakes region to WV so what with all the ski area choices, WV's two-fer Mondays and Fridays are probably one of the better WV ski deals. It lowers a ticket from 68-dollars down to 34-dollars on Monday & Friday slopes that are much less busy than the weekend. In 1993, WV had about 300,000 skiers, and in 2009 WV had about 170,000 skiers.
Whether a day on the slopes is ever ever worth paying the full 68-dollars is an open question?
