Resort Review | Waterville Valley Resort (Waterville Valley, NH)
Full Disclosure: The lift tickets used for this review were provided to the WICed Fest after a less than stellar experience very early in the 2011/2012 season. Media Relations at Waterville noticed a tweet that the WICed Fest put out about our bad experience and asked that we come back later in the year on their dime to experience the mountain again. The write-up below is the result of this return trip. We are happy to see resorts doing their best to make their visitors happy.

Gone Snowboarding – All The Way To Colorado!
The WICed Fest will be experiencing some radio silence this week as a small group of us makes our much-anticipated pilgrimage to Aspen Snowmass. We’ll do our best to do some real-time updating while we’re out there but internet access is an unknown and, well, we’ll be in Snowmass! We’ll definitely be back next week with a recap and, hopefully, another resort review.

2012 WICed Fest Snowboard Trip – The Warm-Up!
If you have been hanging around the WICed Fest recently, you’re probably pretty tuned into the fact that a small faction of us are heading out to Colorado this year. Heading out west has been something we’ve been talking about as a group since we first started riding together.
Unfortunately, on a select group of us are able to head out west. And we’ve been heading north with the same basic group of folks for the last decade and then some. We didn’t want to stop that. Plus, we had to do a warm-up trip for Colorado!
So, in an effort to maintain some continuity to the WICed Fest, we threw together a quick weekend trip up to Attitash in Bartlett, NH. The trip was nothing fancy – head up on Friday to a little cabin, ride on Saturday and head home Sunday. But, in true WICed Fest style, we made the most of this trip!

Trip Announcement | Heading To Attitash!
Long story short, planning a trip in January has been a major fiasco…BUT, I’m happy to announce that we’ve secured a deal to head up to Attitash for the nights of January 27th and 28th for a day of riding on January 28th!
Here’s the details:
- Arrival Date: Friday, January 27, 2012
- Ski/Ride: Saturday, January 28, 2012
- Depart: Sunday, January 29, 2012
I’ve locked up this cabin - an email ASAP if you’re in! Basically, I’m going to fill the trip on a first come first serve basis and once the beds are full, the trip is full. If you’re the next person after the beds are full, I’ll let you know. If you don’t mind crashing on the floor (or with a buddy), we’ll add you too.
Hurry up and book your spot now!
