So, how is the skiing? Waterville Valley was scheduled to open on Nov 20, which is today. Taking a look back over the last 25 years, the ground in the valley should be white with natural snow cover from Nov 8 to Apr 5.
Not this year; the ground is not even frozen yet, there has been no natural snowfall, no artificial snow-making, and today it is raining heavy with temp 53 degrees.
Will the ski areas be open for Thanksgiving, Nov 26?
Hey, it's been a terrific November for
utd
r tennis!
Meredith and Ashland have terrific outdoor hard surface courts to use for free. Waterville Valley (red clay), Center Harbor and Holderness School courts are closed. Does Laconia have any courts?
......
Just checked
www.waterville.com and opening day is now scheduled for Friday December 4. No Thanksgiving skiing at WV! Has that ever happened before? And, the prices for the already incredibly expensive Threedom Pass is scheduled to go up on December 1. Rots-o-ruck selling higher-priced ski passes while the area is closed!
On the brite side: Waterville Valley has a new & great look'n new entrance sign proclaming it to be the HOME of FREE STYLE SKIING with a full color sign graphic of Wayne Wong doing an inverted aerial manuever...... a very good sign that adds some personality to the drive.
