It's time for winter!! Waterville Valley Resort will open for the ski season on Saturday, Nov. 17! The guns have been blasting 'round the clock since Tuesday afternoon and the High Country is looking white and right!

We will offer limited skiing and riding on two trails on the High Country terrain. Access will be via the White Peak Express Quad which will begin turning at 8 a.m. Up top, the High Country lift will spin until 3:30.

The Schwendi Hutte mountain top restaurant and base lodge cafeteria will be open. Don't have your own gear? Our equipment rentals will also be available.

Lift Ticket Rates:

Adult 19+: $35.00
Teen 13-18, College & Military: $25.00
Youth and Senior: $15.00

*Rates will remain in effect until additional terrain and lifts are open.

See you on the slopes!
 
Mike,

A friend has a ski trip to the US and he has the ABS avalanche airbag (http://abs-airbag.de/en/). The handle contains 0.19g of explosives and there's a 300 bar 0.22l argon cylinder to fill the airbags.

Do you happen to know what the US airlines think about these? In Europe they're fine, considered rescue gear.
 
no....you cant bring them on here.....mine went in the car when I moved back from Colorado...

most people I know ship it ahead of them to wherever they are going

I ve heard if you take them apart and disconnect the cylinder head, you can...but I don't know for sure.....with TSA ya never know!
 
Yes, my son got in trouble just because his bag had residue on it, and that's his job (avalanche control).....
I would ask him Petri; but he is currently in Peru, surfing :)

Mike; I wish you a good snow year; they are already excited out west.
Also, my son is supposedly in Powder magazine; although I have yet to see the photo.
 
his name is in it...page 128

if you cant find the mag and you want a copy I will send you one...
 
tok a ride up this morning to see how the mountain was coming along for tomrorows opening..



pretty darn good!
