Join us for a day of cross-country skiing at the Waterville Valley Nordic Center. The trails are wide, beautiful and well groomed. One of the best in the New Hampshire! Waterville is nestled in a high valley within a ring of 4,000-footer mountains in the White Mountain National Forest!

We will do a variety of trails, some hilly and some flat. We ski a combination of easier and intermediate trails. We’ll start the day skiing in the South End with lunch inside the heated Adventure Center. After lunch, we'll drive to the North End exploring the Osceola Vista Campground trails. We’ll then assess from everyone if they feel like skiing more trails or call it a day.     

If you need to rent XC Ski equipment please arrive a half hour early so by the time we arrive at the Nordic Center for 9:30 AM, you are ready to GO! If this is your first-time cross-country skiing, we highly recommend you sign up for a beginner class and we can make arrangements for you to meet us on the trail once you’ve finished. Reservations are required for Nordic lessons. To make a reservation, please call 1-2 weeks ahead of time.

Don't forget to wear warm layers [NO COTTON OR BLUE JEANS], gloves, handwarmers, warm hat, neck gaiter [if very cold], water, lunch, snacks, and anything else you would bring for a cross-country ski adventure. We ski with a small backpack to carry these items. We will be having lunch on the trail. 

The trail fee is $27. Contact us if you have any questions.
