Sunday, Feb 5, at Waterville Valley, www.waterville.com , the adult (19+ age) price is 46-dollars in recognition, or something like that, of the 46th Superbowl football game. Ordinarily, the price for Sat, Sun & holidays is 73/day but since there's so many many many empty chairs on the chairlift and many days with not too many people showing up, the price has been reduced down to 46 dollars (just my opinion here).

So, what's up with the low turnout numbers at WV? Probably has a lot to do with the high price of gasoline, electricity, and heating oil, and many people just not wanting to spend their money on a 73-dollar Sunday 8am-4pm lift ticket.......just my two cents here.

Last two years in 2011 and 2010, WV had twofer Fridays, or two for $63, or 31.50 each and the attendance was way higher than this year when management totally eliminated the twofer Fridays and tried to sell tickets for $63 each.......so many empty chairs on the chairlift......where-o-where are all the skiers and riders.......where-o-where.......not at WV on the formerly twofer Fridays.....okey-dokey!

Today was a nice sunny Friday with temps at about 28-degrees and almost no one shows up to go skiing or riding.......how's that happen?

You know the WV Superpipe that gets built on the Exhibition Slope right in front of the main lodge has not been built yet, and there's no signs of sno-making lately to build it. Today is Feb 3 so what's up with that......will it get built for the February vacation week?
