What’s New for 2024/25 

In New Hampshire, our dedicated teams have been hard at work on lift and trail improvements and are ensuring a fun-willed winter for everyone. Fresh off the heels of two Epic Lift Upgrades from the last two seasons, Attitash is preparing for its 60th season, or diamond jubilee. While you're at Attitash, cozy up in our revamped base lodges, and get stoked for the return of the legendary Hunky Dory trail. Down the road at Wildcat, you can ski or ride like a local on the longest novice trail in the Granite State, take in the scenic views of Mount Washington, and test your skills on 2,100 feet of vertical. The resorts of Southern New Hampshire are conveniently located near large metro areas, making them the perfect place to welcome new guests into the sport. From the dedicated learning area of the revitalized South Peak to the steeps of North Peak, Mount Sunapee has something for everyone. And, at Crotched Mountain, the party continues with all new this season with Midnight Madness and day to night skiing and riding.
