WATERVILLE VALLEY, NH - As winter approaches and the snow starts to fly, skiers and riders can get an early start on the season with this ski & stay package of two nights lodging and two days of lift tickets. Through November to Dec. 20, rooms start at $80 per person for one night in a double occupancy room. Add on a semi private tune-up ski lesson for $45 per person. Waterville Valley Ski Area is scheduled to open Saturday November 21.

Hitting the slopes isn't the only activity to enjoy in the valley during these months. Waterville Valley Resort hosts a variety of early season events like the Northern Lights celebration with fireworks on November 28, and annual Demo Day on December 19. Cookies & Snow on Dec. 12 with candy cottage workshops, Curious George Studio Open House and story time with Santa.

Waterville Valley Resort, located in New Hampshire's White Mountains, is well known for its ski mountain, which features trails and activities for all ages and abilities. From Kids' Venture Kamps to the Silver Streaks over-50 ski club, from alpine to Nordic, snowboarders and freestyle skiers, there is something for every level of skier. And, with these new ski packages - the cost to ski is affordable, and just a two-hour drive from Boston. Once you arrive in Waterville Valley, park the car and relax.

The lodging ski packages include access to the White Mountain Athletic Club with indoor pool, jacuzzis & steam rooms, skating at the indoor Waterville Valley Ice Arena and use of Waterville Valley Resort's shuttle bus.

Waterville Valley Resort, New Hampshire's premier ski resort since 1966, offers 250 skiable acres with snowmaking ability on every trail. The ski area peaks at 4,004 feet, with a vertical drop of 2,020 feet, 52 trails and 12 lifts. But for those who like their skiing with a little less altitude, Waterville Valley's Nordic Center features 75 km of wide-groomed trails with terrain for every ability level, groomed daily for both skate and classic skiing styles. Skiers take off from the Nordic Center in the Valley's quaint Town Square, or just step out the door of their vacation rental--the trails are only steps away from most of the resort's accommodations. Once on the trail, you'll enjoy incredible views of the surrounding White Mountain National Forest. Stop for a rest and a snack at the warming hut along the trail, or return to the Nordic Center and sit by the fire.

New Hampshire has many towns that naturally grew around the state's travel and tourism industry--particularly around its many ski mountains. But only one, Waterville Valley was designed and planned specifically as a self-contained, four seasons resort. In addition to its world-class ski area, Waterville Valley Resort has award-winning tennis courts, golf, hiking, biking, lodging, cultural activities and summer theater, an indoor ice rink, boating, a skate park, and a host of outdoor activities. Dining options include traditional favorites and elegant dining. For more information, call 1-800-GO-VALLEY or visit www.visitwatervillevalley.com.
