What happens when an inspired developer gains control of an entire valley and conceives a master plan for it as a year-round resort? |

Tom Corcoran was an Olympic champion skier and ski coach as well as a developer. He knew what to do with this lovely valley. Laid out as a model town that looks like a country club, Waterville Valley is in fact a town, though most of its buildings are hotels, ski dorms, restaurants and condominiums for vacationers who come here to ski in winter or golf, hike and bike in summer. The settlement is separate from, but close to, Waterville Valley Ski Area, which is on a 4000-foot-high (1219 meters) mountain within the White Mountains National Forest. There are 52 ski trails (19 green, 23 intermediate, 10 expert) served by 11 lifts along a vertical drop of 2020 feet (616 meters). Centerpiece to the town of Waterville Valley is the Town Square complex of buildings, holding the Town Square Condominiums, shops, restaurants and other services. Waterville
