Waterville Valley, NH – 2024
Nov 12th — Grooming & Snowmaking Workshops
5pm — Social & Evening Activities
Nov 13th — Sessions & Vendor Expo
The CCSAA 2024 Fall Conference will be hosted by the Waterville Valley Nordic Center in Waterville Valley, NH. The Conference will be a 2 day event with snowmaking and grooming workshops and socials on day 1 followed by presentations, breakouts and a vendor expo on day 2.
The Fall Conference is an incredible opportunity for owners, operators, and suppliers from across North America to connect, learn, and share knowledge. Attendees will benefit from engaging educational sessions, live grooming demonstrations, and vibrant social events. Networking remains a cornerstone of CCSAA conferences, and this year’s event will be no exception—offering exceptional value.
With its prime location in the heart of the White Mountains, Waterville Valley provides the perfect backdrop for this event, complemented by the convenience of on-site accommodation at the Black Bear Lodge.
The primary benefit of the CCSAA conference is having time to talk with other industry professionals! The information gleaned from the presentations is fantastic, but secondary to having time to focus on detailed discussions with folks that are doing the same thing I am every day.

The Grooming and Snowmaking Workshops will take place at the top of the Tecumseh Express alpine lift, near the Schwendi Hütte, where a 1-2K ski track will be specially created. Participants will access the area via chairlift, with the exact ride meeting time to be confirmed soon.

Snowmaking and Grooming Workshops
The Grooming and Snowmaking Workshops will be on-snow and take place at the top of the Tecumseh Express alpine lift, near the Schwendi Hütte, where a 1-2K ski track will be specially created. Participants will access the area via chairlift, with the exact ride meeting time to be confirmed soon.
The program kicks off with a hands-on demonstration of various snow guns, along with a detailed discussion on the operations of a basic snowmaking system. Following this, the grooming workshop will dive into topics such as blading and pushing snow, effective intersection techniques, and determining the best locations for setting or avoiding track.
Both workshops are designed to be highly interactive, encouraging participants to ask questions and share insights for a more collaborative learning experience.

Social Events and Networking
For years, Conference attendees have agreed that time spent together on the trails, over lunch or at a social event is one of the most important elements of the Conferences. Please join us at 5 pm after the Snowmaking and Grooming Workshops for happy hour.
It will not only be great fun but will allow attendees to have that time over a drink build those critical relationships. Details to come.
Silent Auction
We will again have a silent auction as part of the Fall Conference. If you have an item or service, please contact Reese for information on getting it listed.
Please remember to bid high and often as your silent auction dollars help CCSAA continue to work for you, the members.
