Bags, Brews, & Mountain Views

Waterville Valley will be buzzing with friendly competition and scenic charm during the inaugural White Mountain Cornhole Tournament, a two-day event set in the heart of the White Mountains! Open to both seasoned players and casual bag-tossers, the tournament promises a lively mix of sport, relaxation, and mountain hospitality.

The action begins Saturday with round robin play, giving participants the chance to warm up, find their rhythm, and meet their fellow competitors. On Sunday, the stakes rise with bracket play, divided into two divisions: a Championship Tier for highly competitive players and a Social Tier for those simply looking to enjoy the game.

A total cash purse of $1,500 is up for grabs. In the Championship Tier, first place will take home $1,000, second place earns $400, and third place will receive $250. The Social Tier awards $100 for first place, $50 for second, and $25 for third.

Adding to the atmosphere, Waterville Valley’s open container policy means players and spectators can enjoy their favorite beverages throughout the event. With local brews in hand and the mountain backdrop behind them, attendees can expect an experience that blends competition with the relaxed pace of a summer weekend in the White Mountains.

Tournament weekend also comes with special lodging offers. The Black Bear Lodge is offering a discounted tournament rate of $179 per night, down from the regular $269, with late checkout included. Guests can book online using the promo code CORN. The Golden Eagle Lodge is providing 30 percent off regular rates, with one-bedroom units starting at $188 plus tax, also available with the promo code CORN.

With top-tier prizes, welcoming play for all skill levels, and the charm of a mountain resort town, the White Mountain Cornhole Tournament offers an ideal reason to spend a summer weekend in Waterville Valley.
