A First Timer's Guide to Waterville Valley Resort

Section 3: Getting Around On The Mountain

So, now you're through the sign-up process, you've gotten your ticket, rental equipment, lesson, etc. Here are some pointers regarding places to eat, amenities, etc. For a more comprehensive overview of Waterville Valley Resort's amenities, check out our dining and statistics and info pages.

Lodges and Dining

The base lodge has storage lockers available. For a fee you can store your belongings in these lockers while on the slopes. You can also get good, hearty breakfasts and lunches in the lodge, or relax and watch other skiers and riders come down the mountain. We ask that you not store your belongings under the tables in the cafeteria. Storing your belongings under tables leaves them vulnerable to theft, damage, and is not considerate of other guests who need a place to sit.

In addition to the base lodge, Waterville Valley also offers food at the mid-mountain Sunnyside Up lodge, located at the base of the Sunnyside Triple chair; At the T-Bars restuarant above the Rental shop in the base area; and the Schwendi Hutte restaurant & warming hut, located at the summit, overlooking the valley to the South.

Restrooms and Telephones

Restrooms and telephones are located in the lower levels of the lodge. Additionally, rest rooms are located in the mid-mountain Sunnyside Up lodge, and at the Schwendi Hutte and T-Bars restaurants.

Guest Services

Guest Services staff are ready to help you with all your needs. For directions, information, and helpful tips, and all your informational needs, just visit the Guest Services desk on the 2nd floor of the Base Lodge, or inquire at the Ticket office or Valet Parking office (bottom of the main stairway).

First Aid

We hope you'll never need them, but if you do, Waterville Valley's Ski Patrol is ready to help you. Waterville Valley's First Aid Room is located in the Ski Patrol Clinic, right near the Lower Meadows Double Chair. The Clinic is accessible from the parking lot, or you can ski to it from the base area, going towards Lower Meadows.

Ask any staff member for assistance. We're happy to summon Ski Patrol help for you.

Enjoy!

Snowsports are exhilarating, especially as you try to learn something new or try to move to a higher skill level. Remember: it's all about fun.
