Waterville to Host Moguls World Cups in 2024 and 2025

I forgot to even look at BW...hard to imagine they're 60" ahead of Wildcat. Hell of a shadow from Mt Washington this year. But still only 12" ahead of Waterville.

I’m a weather dunce but I’ve long imagined the snow Cannon and BW catch sometimes gets blocked by Mt Washington, thus screwing Wildcat. Then Cannon winds blow snow all over creation which puts BW a position to keep more snow.

Then again, the staff at Wildcat may have become so apathetic about everything they just stopped counting the inches.

Any tips on best viewing spot, did they run out of parking, etc ?

They have loads of parking and a shuttle.
Easy to watch from the bottom or sides.

I finally read the article and realized the comp will be on Lower Bobby's and not True Grit. I remember being there many years ago and watching training on True Grit right under the lift. But Bobby's is definitely better for viewing from the bottom.

Only time I've seen a real bump competition is a couple BMMCs at Killington which of course is always a good time.

Waterville is for some reason the breadwinner for total snowfall in NH this year at 89" and will be very close to 100% this weekend it looks like. If I ski somewhere in NH next week it just may have to be there.

i love the BMMC, but this is def a higher level of competitor

BMMC is an amateur event, I'm assuming watervilles event is professional.

25 years ago (!) I had to take an injury day on a trip to Sugarloaf and was able to catch Johnny Mosley doing his 360 grab that won him gold at the 98 Olympics. The Olympics were a big deal that year (was at a ski-centric college) and it was very cool to see live. Go if you can!

Also I had to google real quick to make sure I had my story / years straight that resulted in a lot of articles about how that one trick ushered in a new era of more skate style / X games tricks into the Olympics.
