Terrain

Attitash has two mountains, both of which offer a variety of terrain. Attitash consists of old New England style trails. The more challenging terrain on this mountain are narrow trails with challenging fall lines. Yet it also offers a learning center, featuring a Snowbelt, Learning Center chairlift and the Double Double chairlift, which provides access to longer greens trails and the terrain park. Bear Peak was developed by the American Ski Company and features wider trails and glades. Both mountains have high speed quads, the Flying Bear at Bear Peak takes you straight to the summit, and the Flying Yankee at Attitash takes you three quarters up the mountain.
