311 acres, 68 runs across two peaks near Bartlett. Epic Pass access, White Mountains skiing.
Attitash Mountain Resort's summit reaches 2,350 feet, dropping to a base at 600 feet across 68 runs spread over 311 acres near Bartlett in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Terrain splits 46 per cent intermediate, 28 per cent advanced and 26 per cent beginner, with no expert-rated runs, and average annual snowfall of roughly 61 inches. The resort carries Epic Pass affiliation. Seven lifts, including four quad chairs and three triple chairs, serve the mountain alongside one surface lift.
Attitash operates as a genuine twin-peak resort, with terrain spanning both its original mountain and the later-developed Bear Peak, connected by a network of trails that give skiers a considerable variety of terrain to explore across the combined footprint. The resort's name, drawn from an Abenaki chief, reflects the deep regional history of the White Mountains area it calls home.
Phil Robertson founded Attitash in 1965, opening with 41 acres, four trails and two lifts, and offering free skiing on its 26 January opening day. In 1969, the upper mountain was developed with a 5,000-foot chairlift, substantially increasing accessible terrain and tripling the size of the base lodge. The resort added New England's second alpine slide in 1976, a 500,000 US dollar investment that sold 200,000 tickets in its first season, and introduced snowmaking in 1981 with a 1.7 million US dollar system covering 110 acres.
In the mid-1990s, Attitash underwent a major expansion with the development of Bear Peak, repurposing a partially developed 1960s ski area proposal and adding more than 100 acres of terrain, transforming the resort into a genuine dual-peak destination. Vail Resorts completed its acquisition of Peak Resorts, including Attitash, in September 2019 for 264 million US dollars. Adult daily tickets run from 89 to 139 US dollars.
Attitash Mountain spreads 68 runs across 311 acres skiable of terrain. It leans intermediate at 46%, with 18 beginner runs to find your feet and 19 advanced or expert runs when you want to push.
The 2025-26 season at Attitash Mountain Resort ran from 6 December 2025 to 5 April 2026, a roughly seventeen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 61 inches. Extensive snowmaking, dating back to the resort's 1981 system investment, supplements natural snowfall to maintain consistent conditions throughout the season.
Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions across Attitash's twin-peak terrain. As an Epic Pass resort within the Vail Resorts network, Attitash draws substantial visitation from Epic Pass holders alongside its traditional White Mountains visitor base drawn from the broader Northeast.
The resort's dual-peak layout, spanning the original mountain and Bear Peak, gives visitors considerable variety across a single lift ticket, appealing to families and groups seeking varied terrain. School holiday periods bring substantial family visitation given the resort's intermediate-and-beginner-weighted terrain profile. Weekend crowds draw heavily from the greater Boston and southern New England region.
Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Vail Resorts' 2019 acquisition of Peak Resorts, Attitash has continued operating as part of the Epic Pass network, building on six decades of White Mountains skiing history dating to Phil Robertson's 1965 founding. The resort's dual-peak character remains central to its seasonal appeal.
Attitash Mountain Resort sits near Bartlett in New Hampshire's White Mountains, with a base elevation of 600 feet and a summit at 2,350 feet over 311 acres spread across two connected peaks. This setting places the resort within one of New England's most storied ski regions.
Bartlett and nearby North Conway offer extensive lodging, dining and shopping, including well-known tax-free outlet stores, within a short drive of the resort. The broader Mount Washington Valley region surrounds Attitash with additional outdoor recreation and White Mountains scenery.
New Hampshire State Route 302 provides direct access to the resort through the heart of the White Mountains. Winter driving conditions on this route can include snow and ice, though the well-travelled state highway is regularly maintained given the resort's popularity as a Northeast ski destination. There is no direct public transport service to the mountain.
Specific nearest commercial airport details are not confirmed in available resort information, though Attitash's White Mountains location keeps it within a reasonable drive of the greater Boston metropolitan area's major airports for visitors travelling from further afield.

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.
Attitash Mountain's 2025 - 2026 season typically runs from December 6 through April 5. That window is roughly 120 calendar days, though daily operations depend on snow cover, weather, and lift maintenance.

Attitash Mountain lists about 311 acres skiable of marked terrain spread across 68 named runs (126 hectares alongside 311 acres skiable). That footprint is what most riders experience on a lift-served day. Side-country or hike-to terrain may sit outside these published numbers.
Use the trail map to see how the mountain is laid out and where the longest fall-line runs connect back to base.
Trail grading at Attitash Mountain breaks down roughly as 26% beginner, 46% intermediate, 28% advanced. The mix is balanced enough for mixed-ability groups, so learners can stay on marked green/blue (Green/Blue) terrain while stronger skiers peel off to steeper pitches.
Percentages describe the resort's published piste mix, not vertical feet. A mountain with modest "expert" stats can still feel demanding if the steep terrain is long or exposed. Read the trail map alongside these numbers when planning your route.
Attitash Mountain operates 8 lifts across 3 lift types. The fleet includes 4 quad chairs, 3 triple chairs, and 1 surface lift.
