Waterville Valley Resort Launches Affordable Family Ski Pass

Waterville Valley, NH, Sept. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Waterville Valley Resort, located in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, is making family skiing more accessible and affordable with its new Adult Plus Pass. The pass, priced at $1,357, includes one complimentary Junior Plus Pass for a child aged 6 to 12, making it easier for families to spend more time together on the mountain.

For a family of four, two adults and two children aged 6 to 12, the total cost of purchasing season passes for the entire family is $2,714, with both Junior Plus Passes included at no additional cost. This compares favorably to other major season pass options serving New England skiers, where families may need to purchase separate passes for each child. Waterville Valley’s included Junior Plus Passes can represent more than $1,000 in season pass savings for a family of four.

Current season pass pricing is available through October 12, 2026. After this date, prices will increase on October 13, 2026. The value of this initiative is central to Waterville Valley’s Family Affordable Skiing program, which aims to provide more skiing opportunities while reducing the overall family spend.

The resort is also offering added flexibility through its First Ride, Then Decide program. Passholders can defer their pass before their second day of use, provided they submit written notice to the Waterville Valley Season Pass Office by March 1. This option allows passholders to experience the mountain on their first day while retaining the ability to decide whether to use the pass later in the season.

Waterville Valley’s focus on family value extends beyond the price of a season pass. For families who ski regularly, having a home mountain can make skiing easier to incorporate into everyday winter life. The resort provides a complete resort experience surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest, offering skiing and riding, lodging, dining, events, and year-round recreation.

The resort’s family-friendly atmosphere and mountain community are designed to create a home-mountain experience for families. Returning throughout the season gives children an opportunity to become comfortable with the mountain’s trails, lifts, and overall environment while developing their skills and confidence. Over time, repeated visits can also create a sense of community, with families seeing familiar faces, reconnecting with friends and resort staff, and establishing favorite trails and traditions.

In summary, Waterville Valley Resort is expanding its focus on affordable family skiing with the introduction of the Adult Plus Pass, which includes a complimentary Junior Plus Pass for a child aged 6 to 12. The pass is priced at $1,357, and the entire family can purchase season passes for $2,714, with prices increasing on October 13, 2026. The resort’s Family Affordable Skiing initiative aims to help families ski more, spend more time together, and make Waterville Valley their home mountain.
