Waterville is bargain.....
On the 31st of March, check out Waterville Valley. The lift tickets will be a dollar that day. Usually the dollar day falls on April 1, but this year, that day falls on a Saturday.

Unfortunately PBLG,no ski area is going to tell you their skiing stinks.I think most people understand that.Did you think with the weather we have been having that it would be different than what you discovered?As far as trail count,same thing for all ski areas. BW is showing about 16-18 trails.Those are trail segments and you only need to check their website and the trailmap page shows what IS open so there should be no surprize there.It has to get better soon cuz I'm leaving to ski out west next week.Works every time!

Thanks for the heads up. Your description is pretty much what I expected. I agree that it doesn't make much sense to go skiing in New England until there is another storm. I wouldn't want to be a business catering to the outdoor snow sports this year. |

...Bears not a-ready to hibernate just yet
At least one bear is still out and about here in Waterville Valley. Some large tracks showing paw prints and claws were very easy to follow in the heavy wet snow, just 1/2" deep, on a cross-country ski trail, yesterday. Usually, most years, the black bears around these here woods, take to hibernating on about December 7, Pearl Harbor Day, but not this year.
Are they staying up so's they go do the terrific Gunstock night-tubing runs, under the lights, or what? |

....rain.....what rain...did it rain here?....no-way!
So, what do war fighting reports and ski condition reports have in common? The reporters can be creative with their timeliness and totally leave out certain hot words like 'civil war' and 'rain.' Rain is called the "r-word" and is definately not what people want to hear/read on a snow condition report. It's a competative business and probably all the large ski areas practice creative reporting except maybe state owned Cannon Mountain.
Not a mention of the r-word on Belknap County owned Gunstock Mountain's website, even though Monday's weather was a very r-word type of a day. At 3:50am, the Waterville Valley temperature is now a rainy 39 degrees according to my thermometer, and that obviously is very warm for Jan 2. ....anyone for waterskiing!

I just checked the weather report and it is going to be about 50 through the weekend up there. It is going to be 60 in Boston on Saturday.
I hate to think that Al Gore got something right Bad news for skiing so far! Jetskier |

Unfourtanetly, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the smaller ski areas close for the weekend, given what is headed their way this week. Pray for snow and cold!!! This is getting ridiculus.
