Hey there ........today is Dec 4 opening day, 1st day this winter, www.waterville.com/cams, and the price for a one day lift ticket is $55., age 18-65.

Is it worth it or are you better off heading over to the nearby Livermore parking area, a one mile drive north of the ski area, and hitting the Livermore Rd for cross country skiing or walking/hiking or pedaling a mountain bike on the natural snow covered road-trail. "The area of Livermore is now an unincorporated civil township and ghost town, inhabited roughly from 1870-1930 where most of the logging was done in the winter by transient men. (Wikipedia)"

While the Livermore Rd is immediately close to the Waterville xc trail system, it is a U.S. Forest Service multi-use trail and it costs $5/car/day or a WMNF window $30-sticker/year to pahk your cahr, there, and hit that Livermore Rd-trail.

The Livermore parking lot seems to attract a lot of locals and people up from Massachusetts who know where to go plus it has a good view of the ski trails on nearby Mt Tecumseh-Waterville Valley ski area from about one mile distance, looking upward. ........http://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/ne...ore-road-trail ...... 219 photos along Livermore Rd/trail

Dec 15, 2021: Nat'l Weather Svce for Waterville Valley-03215; predicted high-49, low-36 with chance of showers .... and the price for a one day lift ticket is $65., age 18-65
