The Valley Has Something for Everyone
Winter Sports In Waterville Valley
From novice to double black diamond, the Waterville Valley Resort Ski Area has something for skiers of every skill level. Classes are often hosted on the grounds, some even taught by Olympian skiers.
If the slopes aren’t for you, other winter activities are available. The Waterville Valley Ice Arena offers public skating, rentals, weekend hockey tournaments, broomball, and stick and puck sessions during its Fall/Winter season.
Hiking is also an option, but winter hikers should exercise caution. Not only are trails slippery, but they can become clogged with dangerous amounts of snow.
