Waterville Valley has mucho more snow cover than in Meredith. In Meredith, it's leaf raking time, while in WV the golf course is 100% totally white and thick with snow. The cross country ski trails are closed but there's an opportunity now to be using about 75km of all the trails at no charge. Ditto that for sno-boarders up at the half pipe and ramps on the ski area. The ski area is closed but there is a lot of snow all over and walking up to ski-snowboard is possible and welcome by the ski area.
The snow that still remains on the golf course and in the woods is some type of dehydrated, old gnarley snow that is easy to walk on without breaking through. Eskimos call it "heap tough old yucky snow - ugh, where the H is spring?" in Eskimo speak.
WV is about 1000' higher in elevation and about 35-miles north of Meredith.
