The bathrooms...my god, no thank you.
And, we found it strange that even with very cold temps for three or four days, there was little terrain open, and the snowmaking guns were silent.
Finally we asked a young looking ski patrol employee what the deal was. He
said that although the mountain is state owned, a private company leases it and runs the ski operations. No money to repair anything. And strict orders to halt all snow making. Don't know if this is accurate info, but it made sense.
Also went to Waterville on Sunday December 21st. Perfect, perfect conditions. Fresh powder, and it fell all day...but just noone there.

Sad to see Wildcat (one of the best in NH) go downhill like that.. Guess the state cant afford such trivial items.. Dems need to go!
