Attitash Mountain Resort

Two linked peaks on Route 302 near North Conway.

Vail-owned Attitash spreads across two connected peaks, Attitash and Bear Peak, with long intermediate cruisers, some steeper pitches up top and about 60 acres of trees. It sits on Route 302 a short drive from North Conway, so outlet shopping, restaurants and nightlife are close. A good Epic Pass stop for families; pair it with Wildcat for more challenge.
