Attitash Park 2011-12

As many people know attitash hasn't had the greatest of parks in the past few years.  They just got a new GM and he really wants to get the park lookin good. Since we are with peak resorts as is mount snow attitash will have the guys who work on carinthia come down to work on attitash's park and also a little bit with wildcat mt.  These guys are going to be working on all of the three parks by rotating around, not as concentrated on wildcats.  They want to get Attitash's park looking as good as carinthia's.

any thoughts?

ya, if u continue on rt. 16 and instead of taking a left to go up towards mt washington on 16, u go strait it'll be like 5 minutes down the road on ur left. i'm wicked exited for this cuz i see how dope other parks r and i work at atty so i get a free pass and we havn't had a good park in a long time. it should be ill

Word. I drove by it then. I wasn't sure if that was the right place. I took whatever road that is up through the pass heading west.


I'll prolly be skiing there a couple times this winter. Hopefully the park plans work out.

i blame the last gm, he was a jewbag and didn't give a shit bout skiing. all he wanted was the $$$$$. this new guy was with attitash before when they were with American Ski Co. and is a wicked nice guy and actually cares about skiing and what we think

Unfortunately a lot of people are like that.


Also plenty of people who think having a park means they're all set. Doesn't matter if it's good or not as long as they have a "snowboard park".


A lot of mountains are starting to realize that it isn't a trend that's going to disappear, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.Ultimately it ends up bringing in a lot of $$$ as well, so it seems almost stupid for some mountains to put in so little effort.


Props to any mountains making changes for the better.

yeah, this gm is great. the old gm also changed the name of the pub that has always been called ptarmigan's pub so this gm changed it back. everyone hated it that the guy changed it, it was dumb

i havn't heard anything new from what i've posted yet except that their making new elements. one of my friends is with the park crew and that's what he told me. he couldn't tell me what they're making but i'm hoping it's sick stuff. They say their gonna open this friday but we'll see. their website says they're blwoing snow on Humpphrey's, Upper Saco, Northwest Passage, Spillway, and Thad's Choice. Thad's is where the park is so they may have some elements up

Opening with just Moat ungroomed on Friday for $15 and then a rail jam at the base area for either $3 or 3 cans of food. Should be a very good time with hopefully a decent setup. See you all there!!!

its was actually just a session today. Tommorw swag will be handed out.

The setup is mad legit though. Make sure you bring wax though cause speed is an issue. There is a flat box. Mellow down urban rail. Down urban box, and a flat down box.

Entry fee is $3 or 3 canned food items.
