    The Overview
    MF
    Michael Fulton
    Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.

    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.

    When to visit Attitash Mountain

    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.

    Getting there

    Getting to Attitash Mountain, and where to stay

    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.

    Sundance Mountain Resort Is Getting a New High-Speed Quad and More Back Mountain Terrain This Winter

    Sundance Mountain Resort's back mountain is finally getting a proper lift. The Electric Horseman Express opens for 2026-27, unlocking a new bowl next to Bishop's Bowl and three expert gladed chutes across roughly 105 fresh acres - on top of the Storyteller ridge run that debuted in preview form last season. It's Sundance's biggest expansion since 1985, and it turns a three-lift slog into a single six-minute ride to Bearclaw Summit.

    Nassfeld Invests €13 Million in New 6-Seater Chairlift for 2026/27 Season

    Nassfeld Invests €13 Million in New 6-Seater Chairlift for 2026/27 Season

    Nassfeld is putting €13 million into a new 6-seater chairlift, the Tressdorfer Almbahn, connecting Sonnleitn with the Tressdorfer Alm from December 2026. It replaces three ageing drag lifts and will run through summer too, from June 2027, moving up to 2,500 people an hour on the roughly three-minute ride. It's the latest step in Carinthia's largest ski resort building out a genuine year-round offering, following last year's Gartnerkofelbahn gondola.

    Stelvio Glacier Suspends Summer Skiing, Leaving Continental Europe Without a Lift-Served Slope

    Stelvio Glacier Suspends Summer Skiing, Leaving Continental Europe Without a Lift-Served Slope

    Italy's Stelvio Glacier has pulled the plug on summer skiing from August 15. It was the last lift-served ski option left standing in continental Europe, and now there's none. Operator SIFAS pointed to persistent heat, storms, and a snowpack that simply wasn't refreezing overnight anymore. The cable car keeps running. Whether skiing comes back later this summer depends on the weather turning - and right now, nobody's promising anything.

    Maverick Mountain's Only Chairlift Destroyed as Sand Creek Fire Tears Through Montana Ski Area

    Maverick Mountain's Only Chairlift Destroyed as Sand Creek Fire Tears Through Montana Ski Area

    Firefighters saved every base building at Maverick Mountain, Montana, but the resort's sole chairlift didn't survive the Sand Creek Fire. Owners Erik and Kristi Borge say the lift is "most likely" out for the 2026/27 season after flames tore through the mountain on August 8. The wildfire has since grown past 27,700 acres with zero percent containment. It's a gutting result for the tiny, one-lift operation near Dillon - though the lodge, groomers and equipment all made it through untouched.

    Fairmont Niseko: New Luxury Resort Revives Stalled La Plume Site for Early 2028 Opening

    Fairmont Niseko: New Luxury Resort Revives Stalled La Plume Site for Early 2028 Opening

    Fairmont is bringing its second Japanese property to Niseko, and this one's got history. The 165-room resort will rise on the site of the stalled La Plume project, which collapsed into bankruptcy in 2025 before J-Will Partners bought the site for redevelopment. Set between Mount Yotei and Mount Annupuri, it's slated for an early 2028 opening - putting it in play for the 2027/28 season. Expect two restaurants, a spa, onsen bathing, and a kids' club, a short drive from Niseko Village and Hirafu.

    Saas-Fee Closes Its Glacier to Summer Skiing as Heat Wave Drags On

    Saas-Fee Closes Its Glacier to Summer Skiing as Heat Wave Drags On

    Saas-Fee is closing its glacier to summer skiing from Monday, August 10 - the second major Swiss resort to shut in under two weeks after Zermatt suspended operations on August 1. Persistent heat and warm nights that won't let the glacier refreeze are behind the call, per Saastal Bergbahnen. That leaves Italy's Stelvio as the only glacier ski area open in the Alps. Reopening could come as early as August 17, though nothing's confirmed - and racing teams are already looking south instead.

    Silvretta Montafon Plans New 10-Person Gondola to Replace Ageing Hochjoch Lift

    Silvretta Montafon Plans New 10-Person Gondola to Replace Ageing Hochjoch Lift

    Silvretta Montafon wants to retire one of its most distinctive lifts. The plan: a single 10-person gondola running direct from Schruns to 1,870 metres, replacing both the two-stage Hochjoch cable car and the 1985 Kropfen chairlift in one move. Capacity jumps from 620 to 3,000 people an hour, and the mid-station transfer disappears entirely. The public hearing lands August 27, 2026 - construction hasn't been confirmed yet, though lift databases are pointing to 2027.

    Understanding the Attitash Mountain snow report

    See what's happening on the mountain at Attitash Mountain right now — snowfall, snow depth, and weather data to help you plan your day in New Hampshire.

    Snow measurements

    Our snow reports measure snowfall in centimeters over multiple time windows — last 24 hours, last 7 days, and the season total. Base depth reflects accumulation at the 183m base area, while summit depth captures conditions 533m higher at 716m, where snow typically stays colder and lingers longer. Imperial conversions are shown alongside for convenience.

    Weather conditions

    Current weather conditions affect snow quality. Cold temperatures with low wind typically preserve snow quality, while warm temperatures or rain can impact conditions negatively — something worth watching closely at Attitash Mountain's 183m base elevation, where temperatures run milder than the summit.

    Data sources

    We pull Attitash Mountain's conditions from on-the-ground mountain reporting, then layer in forecast data so you get a fuller picture than either source alone. The mountain is served by 8 lifts, including 4 quad chairlifts.

    When to check

    The biggest swings usually happen right after a storm. Check Attitash Mountain's report in the morning for the freshest numbers, and again in the afternoon as conditions evolve.
