Easter Sunday in Waterville Valley is an extra special celebration of the Risen Christ.

We hold 2 worship services ~~

The first is a Sunrise Service near the summit of Mt. Tecumseh.

About 250 people joined us this year to ride the White Peak Quad lift at 5:30 am.

It’s amazing to ride in a pre-dawn world over the snow — the only light is from the moon.

Gathering at the snowy top, we know it’s still winter up there.

Everyone is bundled in ski wear or long coats and boots.

This year the weather was amazingly warm — around 20′s.

The sky begins to lighten quickly as the sun begins to rise.

When the sun crests over the eastern mountains, there is an audible gasp at the sheer beauty.

What better way to celebrate “Christ is risen” than seeing the sun rise and emphasizing the truth.

Here are photos from the Sunrise Service,

and the view from the ride down the chairlift at the end of the service.

Sun is up ~ Happy Easter

Ride down the quad lift - the village of Waterville Valley

At the base area -- the sun is barely up

Sunrise again 1/2 hour later in Town Square

We celebrated Easter a second time with a 10 am service in the village.

Here’s the sunrise again from Town Square ~~ about 1/2 after we left the mountain.
