Out on the Waterville Valley 9-hole, par-3 golf course; it's look'n a heck of a lot more green grass than old, dried-out white snow. The cross country ski trails are about 96% closed, excepting for the 2.8-mile Livermore, no fee zone, White Mt National Forest, public access area. For some unknown reason, the no fee zone - cross country 2.8 miles, groomed and double-tracked up the Livermore Rd definately has the best snow by far. Plus of course, it is open and being used by locals who know about it as it is totally not-advertised. How'd that snow happen to fall only in the no-fee zone? Is this some type of snow conspiracy?

Look'n at channel 58 on the tv; the high speed, four seater, main quad chairlift shows chair, after chair, after chair with nobody on-board. A beautifull sunny Thursday, February 11, with little wind, 32-degrees, 45-open trails out of 50, and Waterville Valley downhill definately looks very, very deserted.

What's up with that? Is it the 67-dollar price for a Thursday ticket or something else that I missed? Monday's and Fridays are two-fer days.......which means half-price of $67. or 33.50. Used to be WV promoted itself as "Altitude without the Attitude." How's about "Altitude without the Hoi-Polloi Thursdays."

WV scored a big empty snowless zero in yesterday's non-snowstorm, and it's look'n a lot more like bicycle weather out there.
