Turning something that was once nice into...

Ah progress. But I agree with Longbay, they should be able to design something that is still nice looking but still meet the purpose. I notice a lot of the new building are nowhere near as nice looking as the old buildings-libraries, churches etc.-in fact some are just plain ugly. I even notice the new houses are becoming more "modern" looking, plainer, not as much style as in recent years. I guess this is what the architects are designing.

No question that is an absolutely HORRID looking expansion. A 5 year old could do better than that.

Who ever the so called architect is that came up with that needs to find a different line of work - that is a epic failure at least in the aesthetic department.

Eh who cares skiing around here is a rip off anyways. Waterville valley is equivalent, maybe, to the dope slope at any half way decent resort out west. It amazes me how many will throw down a c-note per head per day to ski these places. Crazy.

Skiing in the north east is like going to Wal-Mart, everything is way over priced and it's all junk.

So, I wonder what's the intended use for the three large, overhead, garage doors and do they actually open and go up and down, or did Chris just buy them cheap, and they are permanently in the down, closed, position?

Well, they do have plenty of windows in each big garage door for looking to the outdoors, while you is indoors?

So, what's up with the 3 big garage doors?

A: Maybe the snow groomer machines go inside, through the 3 big garage doors during the day, so they are always close to the slopes?

B: Maybe there will be outdoor mountain events, held from May through October, when the weather is warm, like a wedding or a boy scout or girl scout camping jamboree, or a July 4-Taylor Swift hillside outdoor concert that puts the base lodge with the 3 big door openings to a good purpose?

C: With those 3 big doors and this location, maybe the Army National Guard will keep their large helicopters here in the warm weather months, so they will be closer to the mountains and doing rescues for lost and injured hikers?

So, what do you think?

With a large white tent set up on the flat area out front the two garage doors, that would be a totally fantastic venue for the June 10-12, 2020 international G-7 Summit get-together. It could be named appropriately, the Black Fly G-7 with Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all there.

So, now you know these three unusual garage doors are part of the plan to use the base lodge for warm weather, outdoor-indoor, mountain events .... starting with the 2020 G-7 Summit in June! Thanks to this totally beautiful mountain location, and this newly remodeled, totally fabulous base lodge with the big garage doors, Waterville Valley has done beat out the Doral Golf Resort in Miami to host the G-7 Summit talks in June!
