Waterville Valley Resort

Ski Area On Mount Tecumseh At The Head Of A Self Contained Resort Valley Surrounded By The White Mountain National Forest, With A Pedestrian Town Square Village, A Small Learning Hill (Snow'S Mountain, Confirm) And Summer Lake, Biking And Trail Use (Confirm). · Waterville Valley, New Hampshire

A ski resort and a small resort town sharing one valley at the end of a dead-end road in the White Mountains. The ski area climbs Mount Tecumseh, a 4,000-foot peak, with about 2,000 feet of vertical (confirm) and a spread of groomed intermediate trails, some steeper runs and glades, terrain parks and a separate small learning hill closer to the village (Snow's Mountain, confirm how it is used today). The valley itself is a planned resort community surrounded on almost every side by the White Mountain National Forest: condos, inns and a pedestrian Town Square of shops, restaurants and a skating rink set beside a small pond. There is one way in, NH Route 49, roughly 11 miles up the Mad River from I-93 at Campton (confirm), which keeps through traffic out and gives the place a quiet, self-contained feel. In summer the valley turns to lake swimming and paddling on the pond, mountain and road biking, tennis and hiking trails into the surrounding forest (confirm what runs each year). It is a common choice for families who want to park once and not drive again all weekend.
