Waterville


Location:

Waterville is located in New Hampshire right off of interstate 93. This is perfect for skiers and riders who are coming from the Boston area. The drive is very easy to get there and hard to get lost. Once at the mountain there are plenty of places to stay over night for those who live to far away to go on a day trip. Also the town has plenty of things to do at night and places to eat. Waterville's location is ideal for all to have a great day or vacation.

Terrain:

Waterville has very diverse terrain for all skiers and riders to enjoy. The mountain is very large even though from the base of the mountain it does not look that big. This is because there are a lot of steep trails off the sides of the mountains that you can not see from the base. My favorite place to ski at this mountain is the top left side of the mountain going off the side. This area has some of the steepest terrain in the whole mountain that you can get some serious speed. For those who do not want the steep trails though there are plenty of other trails that are good for all skill levels.

Staff:

The staff at Waterville is top notch! The mountain has an outstanding coaching staff for ski racing. They actually are so good that they have there own ski academy now. The coaches here have great patience and most also raced some point in their life so they have first hand experience. The other instructors at the mountain are good too. Every part of the staff is good at Waterville and they take pride in this.
