What place is better...... Not based on size. I am an intermediate skier and what place should we go to!!!!!!!!!???????? Best answer:you will have a much better time at Waterville, if its really windy there and nothing is opening up then make the drive to exit 32 and ski loon mountain. Okemo is so so but overall waterville is wayyy better Mt. Sunapee trails vs. Loon trails?Full question:I have a friend who is a beginner, prefer going on the green trails only.

Sunapee vs. blue on Loon? Which one is easier (less steep) to go? and about Ragged Mountain? Waterville Valley? Thanks all Thanks a lot, CapyBara Best answer:Mount Sunapee is the easiest, then Loon, then Ragged, then Waterville Valley is the most challenging. Which of these ski areas are best after a storm?Full question:Next year I'm only going skiing the day or day after a storm. These are the places I'm considering, others are too expensive/over-groomed/too far. Which places will hold pow the best? Which have the least flat spots? Which will I have the most fun at? I'm a high-intermediate skier and have most fun on narrow, winding trails. I like bumps. Waterville Valley Cannon Mountain Ragged Mountain Dartmouth Skiway Cranmore Black Mountain Wachusett Pico Mountain Berkshire East Tenney Mountain Any extra info you want to put in, go for it! Yeah, I have skied pow before, try 3 feet at Cannon...I'm actually a beginner skier but a high-intermediate snowboarder, but since everybody in the snowboarding section is freestyle and I don't like freestyling I ask in the skiing section. I doubt you have even been to NH on a good day. The powder can be amazing, if you know where to go and aren't AFRAID of a little ice. I was just asking which place is the best for next year, I don't know why you even bothered answering this question when you didn't even understand it. Best answer:Skiing only fresh snow is great if you have the flexibility. However, don't expect powder dumps at any New England resort. The snow is usually high moisture content, not Utah powder. Cannon and Waterville have the best terrain from your list. This year each had 2 for 1 specials on some weekdays. If you can get fresh snow at half price, that's your deciding factor.

Best answer:http://www.watervillebank.com/locations.asp Would Beethoven's Romance in F be too easy to play at a music camp?Full question:I'm 13 years old and going to Waterville Valley Music Camp in New Hampshire USA this year. I guess it doesnt really matter, but whatever. Anyways, I'm thinking of playing Beethoven Romance in F. Theres kids in the camp that are 12 and playing DeBeriots Concerto no. 9 and stuff like that... Would this make me look like I'm not that good of a violinist compared to the other kids? Best answer:Many people have said that Beethoven's Romance is not a very challenging piece. I guess you could say that they are correct... if what you're satisfied is with an ok performance. However, if you strive to create a polished product by taking all the technical considerations into account, knowing what you want to do with the phrasings, knowing all the nuances of the piece and making it your own, believe me, you will struggle with it. This is not just with Romance either... it's with every piece. I have a recording of Kyung Wha Chung playing the Humoresque. It's a Suzuki 3 piece. Elementary school children play it. However, she really puts everything into it and respects the piece by making it her own... she doesn't play it half-heartedly just because she thinks it's below her to play a children's piece. Music should not have a difficulty label on it. If you play it well and respect it by giving it all you've got, your talent will shine through and people will recognize it!! So have fun with it and good luck =] I need some snowboarding advice?Full question:I'm going snowboarding tom with my buddy at waterville valley. It's been a year so no doubt ill be rusty. Basicly I'v been boarding awhile but I always get what I call stiff legs. For some reason its hard for me to bend them? I'm not obese or anything it just makes it hard to carve. And I have a 154 cm K2 union several years old. I weigh about 190 and I'm 5 9 in height Best answer:My best carving tips. On your heelside, try and grab your back toe with your back hand, remember too keep your bum in and your head up. On your toeside, try to get your knees as close to the snow as you dare. Try adjusting your highbacks so they're at a little bit more of an angle, it'll help your get your legs bending. Practice your position when you're at home/in the lift lines/waiting for your buddy. You'll look an idiot but who cares, it really helps! Always make sure your weight is over your front leg & as much as none of us like it, switch riding is always good for improving your general riding style. It'll help you highlight where you're having problems. It sounds like your board might be a little too small for you. Maybe your legs are a bit close together, which is why you have trouble bending enough. I hope I helped, good luck with your carving How do I convince my parents to look into boarding school?Full question:I have told my parents that I want to go to boarding school because none of the schools near me are right for me. We have a second home in ski counrty which is where all the large ski moutains are in nh and there are very good boarding schools there. I am on a very good ski team (Waterville Valley) and many kids on my ski team have got scholarships to the schools around there. My coach says that most likely I can get one. Then my parent don't have to pay for private school. I need help to convince them to look into boarding school. They can see me on the weekends because all the school are near our second home or on the way up to our second home. Please help. Best answer:get all the info. you can on schools, and make a powerpoint to show your parnets. there are boarding schools ALL OVER THE PLACE and im sure you can find a good one near you. financial aid is available at schools that have a large endowment... convince them man :) Skiing around Boston?Full question:I'm arranging a day ski trip for students at a university in Boston. However, I'm not from the area. I don't want to go to one of the smaller ones like Blue Hills in Milton (even though it is close) because some of the students are pretty serious about skiing and riding and want to go to an actual mountain. Right now I've narrowed it down to Mt. Sunapee, Loon Mountain, and Waterville Valley, all in New Hampshire. Will these mountains be challenging and fun enough for college students? Any others people can suggest (not more than 2.5 hours from Boston)? Are there any in Vermont worth looking at? Thank you! Best answer:In New Hampshire - you might try: You might look into Cranmore as well http://www.cranmore.com/winter/ or Gunstock http://www.gunstock.com/ In vermont you might try : OKEMO http://www.okemo.com/okemowinter/ You might try in Southern Vermont Magic Mountain in Londonderry VT http://www.magicmtn.com/ Stratton Mountain has the longest half-pipe for snowboards in the east 500 feet http://www.stratton.com/index.htm BROMLEY MOUNTAIN http://www.bromley.com/ In The Berkshires of Mass you might try Bousquet: In Pittsfield http://www.bousquets.com http://www.bousquets.com/page.php?PageID=1489&PageName=Welcome Jiminy Peak in Hancock MA http://www.jiminypeak.com/accounts/69/homepage/ Butternut - Great Barrington MA http://www.skibutternut.com/ Wachusett and Nashoba are close to Boston and have good ski runs and also good lessons for younger kids and novices http://www.wachusett.com/ Wachusett is in Princeton MA Nashoba is near Westford MA http://www.skinashoba.com/ Nashoba has an excellent ski lesson program Powered by Yahoo!
