Winter
Attitash has two peaks, Attitash and Bear Peak, 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. It also offers a learning center, featuring a Snowbelt, Learning Center chairlift and the Double Double chairlift, which provides access to longer greens trails. 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 taking skiers straight to the summit, and the Flying Yankee at Attitash taking skiers halfway up the mountain. The Summit Triple takes about 11.5 minutes to get to the top. In the era of Peak Resorts, snowmaking and grooming were vastly improved. Despite concerns from locals, Peak was the company that managed to finally get the resort out of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. While the halfpipe was removed, the terrain park was arguably improved by splitting it into three separate parks and moving them all to Bear Peak, allowing the blue they originally occupied to be used for the ski school. In the second half of the 2018/2019 season, the top half of Attitash was closed due to major problems with the Summit Triple. Despite a fairly new bull wheel, it was found to also be in need of massive repair to the gear box, including a replacement "planetary gear". The triple's replacement has long been a hot topic. While hopes are the new owners can finally replace it, for now the Summit Triple was noticeably repaired and has run smoothly. It is unknown at the time what investments by Vail Resorts, who closed the deal in October 2019, plans to make in the former Peak Resorts properties, including Attitash.
Summer
Attitash also has summer activities, including a miniature water park, an alpine slide, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Peak Resorts has brought new attractions like the year-round mountain coaster, a climbing wall, four Euro bungee trampolines, a giant air bag jump, and the newest attraction, the East Coast's longest single-span zip-line. Peak Resorts improved year-round operation in hopes for high enough profit to replace the Summit Triple with a high-speed quad. So far this has not succeeded yet and it is unknown how Vail Resorts will change summer operations at the time.
