Been there a few times. Really like Saddleback but its hard to travel 4 hours vs 1 1/2. The travel is not bad if I start from Franconia though.

....ok.....so the Pats lose to the Broncos by 26 to 16 ....and that translates to a 26-dollar ticket to ski today, Tuesday, January 21 at www.waterville.com ...... is it worth 26-dollars what with the cold and the wind today? ....probably not??? ...my idea of good skiing is about 25-degrees, sunny and no wind......oh well!

Since the Patriots got beat, the Tuesday promos are now called Temperature Tuesdays, and are priced according to the predicted temperature, or something. So, today it would have cost 11-dollars for an all-day, all-lift ticket, which considering the ski conditions and today's sunny weather, made it the #1 best WV ski deal of the season so far!!!

Did many show up for 11-dollars deals today? I have no clue! Did I go skiing today? .....nope.....but it could have been a super-duper day out there today, in my opinion, if I went?

Now, unless you looked at their Facebook page and know about this eleven-dollar deal, the ticket window will still be charging you the regular 65-dollar price. The Temperature Tuesday deal is not mentioned at all on the www.waterville.com front page ..... you need to click on the Facebook link and find the Temperature Tuesday info which is priced at the predicted temperature. On Tuesday, January 28, it was eleven-dollars....... how good is that!!! ....plus maybe the person in front or behind you who is un-informed just paid 65-dollars while you, you big-smarty you, just paid only 11-dollars for the same ticket. Is that right......holy cowabunga Buffalo Bob.....who's a ever thunk that lift ticket pricing could be like this!!!

Say, didn't the WV base lodge have a big vertically positioned wheel-of-fortune, roulette style wheel last season for a you-spin-the-wheel lift ticket price last year on Wednesdays, or something, so this type of pricing, whatever it is called, is not too new........oh well?

Looks like the storm will be mid next week, but something might happen Saturday nite. Cannon has a discount for Super Bowl Sunday, with two-fur $72.

Today is February 1, 2014, and it certainly looks like the snow making is all done for the season here at Waterville Valley, www.waterville.com , as the snowmaking crew has been laid off...... so's that's it for snow making.....here we go.....am still trying to decide if I want to spend the $579 for a value season pass or just go sking on the greatly discounted Temperature Tuesdays.....like 11-dollars (my type of a price!) on last Tuesday.....will probably just stick with the Tuesdays....or something?

Why would you buy a season pass now with 1/2 the season over?

...with 52 trails total on the hill...so far this season.....43 trails has been the most that are open....and there is no more snow making ..... many years ago....when Tom Corcoran was in charge....the price of a season ski ticket would be lowered by 25%-50%-75% as the season went by......but that practice was dropped....so that's a fact.....why would anyone pay $579 for a value pass now what with the season half done?

....on Tuesday, February 4, it cost 27-dollars, and the ski area was very empty with many many empty quad chairs, and the weather was sunny with good skiing conditions.....if this place had to survive on the week day business, it would be out of business.....it gets the business on the weekends and holidays regardless the weather....

Folks, The adaptive program is hosting the Boston Marathon participants who were effected by the BM bombing this weekend. Take a moment to give them a hand if you happen to be at WV. Later in the season we will participate in the Wounded Warriors Project.

Just thirteen dollars to ski here at www.waterville.com today, Tuesday, February 11.....that's a super-duper steal of a deal......which is probably why it is not really promoted too much on the website and u need to click onto facebook to find that out....thirteen dollars for the whole mountain on a sunny and calm day....my type of a price!!! .....and don't forget to make up some tuna sandwiches or something because a cheeseburger will coast you seven dollars in the base lodge cafeteria....ouch!.

fatlazyless · 02-24-2014, 11:29 AM

Here we go......18-dollars to ski on Tuesday, Feb 25, at www.waterville.com .....click on the facebook link to verify ....and if tomorrow is a sunny day it could be one of the better ski days to get out and hit the slopes .....and, as already mentioned , maybe u-want to make a p, b, & j, or tuna sandwich or something otherwise a cheeseburger will cost u 7-dollars in the base lodge cafeteria.....omg!
