Waterville Valley is a great family friendly resort. Its one of the last truly independent resorts. They have a good grooming team and lift lines are not very long. WV has a good mix of runs , but mostly groomed trails. There are bigger resorts out there with more amenities, but for friendliness, a good range of trails that are great for a family, it cant be beat. Its a good value too.

Waterville is such a great east-coast option for families and kids that want to have a great time riding the mountain. Waterville has excellent beginner and intermediate options with 'The Pasture', 'Lower Meadows', 'Valley Run' and 'Stillness'. For black-diamond terrain, Waterville offers some of the best wide-trail, fall-line skiing in the east. Waterville has a great culture about the mountain, being laid-back, family friendly, and has always supported the comp-side of the snow-industry as well. Lastly, the "Freestyle Lounge" is the perfect place to grab a drink at the end of the day, and a hot cocoa for the kids. If you've skied waterville in years past, a lot has changed. Be sure you check it out!

FAV EAST COAST MOUNTAIN! Will always keep coming back for more- best tree runs in Nh - where I gained all my confidence skiing and my love for this sport sky rocketed after my first visit here. Friendly workers, short lift lines, and awesome atmosphere. I love the hut in the woods with the little jump :)
