Main lift was down. Bathrooms smelled like death. Some trails not well marked. To top it off, we got a paper clip in our food. The people are friendly and the snow was good, but the lifts are all old and slow. We won't go back.

Attitash is an amazing ski resort. My first time skiing, they taught me through and through and I was running trails in no time. Overall, very friendly staff. Come back here every winter for prime conditions and great trails, no matter the season. Come here to learn, and come back once-a-winter to have a great time!

The mountain is really hurting for snow this year and had multiple unmarked grass patches in the middle of the trail. One of these i didnt see until it was too late and ended up sliding across it on my bad which could have seriously hurt me. Besides this one of their lifts broke down and and i was stuck on it for roughly 45 minutes. They did give us a $25 lift ticket voucher but seeing as I have a season pass its pretty useless to me.

Went during the SUMMER for a day to ride the mountain coaster and alpine slides. Coaster was fun but the slides felt like they had seen better days. Compared to other places like Bromley that have alpine slides it was a bit of a let down. The water slides made up for it though as they were very fun and refreshing on a hot day.
The food in the cafe was pretty boring standard fast food, candy, soda though all with ski mountain prices. Still, hoping to make it back to do the downhill biking.

Stayed here with a very large group of people the first weekend of August, 2019 for a nearby family party. The rooms were very large which was nice, but outdated (other than one of the kitchens). We had a 4 bedroom, 2 kitchen, 3 full bathroom suite. It truly was massive. It met our needs well but several of the blinds were broken or missing, screens broken, AC not working when we arrived in one of the rooms, The outdoor pool is a reasonable size and quite nice. The "beach" on the Saco river is not a beach, nor does it have anywhere to even remotely swim. I would avoid that aspect of the park. The activities are nice (they had tennis courts that were lighted!).

We have owned timeshares for 24 years, 1st at the Beach Palace, Cancun (with Interval International) and most recently at Hilton Grand Vacation Club, Orlando/SeaWorld (with RCI). Both are great resorts and we've had great exchanges through both, including this latest exchange to the Suites at Attitash Mountain Village.
Regarding the very negative review on 1/22/2010--not sure why anyone coming up to the White Mountains of NH for a ski trip from down south would rely exclusively on GPS to navigate up here. All they have up here is US Routes & PO Boxes--if you're expecting Disney/Orlando like local amenities, suggest you reconsider or change your expectations. This is a mountain resort in the heart of New England where they've bravely fought off having the Walmart syndrome in every town for years (obviously though, they are losing that battle since the individual only had to drive 12 miles to find one). For those of you who can't find your way without your GPS, here is the exact Lat/Long:
N 44 04.958
W 071 13.609
Also, we checked in yesterday without any issues (other than a very soft spoken registration desk clerk who I had trouble hearing). The map from the Hospitality house and most of the Village resort units & amenities to the slopeside townhouses across the street was easy to follow. We stayed in the Blueberry village, Franklin bldg, 2nd/3rd floor suite C4 (BFC4). The individual who traveled from Disney Vacation Club in Jan 2010 was in the Washington (W) bldg right next to ours. Not sure why they had trouble finding their unit. I found the ramp with luggage caddy extremely helpful in unloading all our supplies for a week long ski trip in the White Mountains. Much easier than last years trip to Jiminy Peak "hotel rooms" in the Berkshires where I had to haul our stuff up 3 flights of stairs!
The suite is new, huge, has enough room to sleep 2 small families (2+2 x 2) comfortably, has 2 full baths, 2 fireplaces, a full kitchen, W/D, 2 large TVs with Cable, VCR/DVD players. There's an access trail to the slopes a short walk from our unit. The resort restaurant is typical of ski lodge resorts... small pizza/italian joint adjacent to the apres ski bar. But the take out last night was great after a 5 hr drive up from Boston (several stops on the way including the LL Bean outlet that had a 30% off sale on everything in the store). There are lots of restaurants scattered along the 302, some close for the season (this is also a big Spring-Fall resort area for the New England area with very affordable young kid theme parks: Storyland and Santa's Village where Disney doesn't take your first born in exchange for entrance or a hot dog.
The last positive item to mention is that at the slopeside ticket office, they offer a significant discount to military ($24/day) and kids 5 & under ski free.
I will concede that the ground floor units are inaccessible from our level other than walking up and around the bldg so it is unfortunate that family got split up & down. I haven't tried the dumpster yet so that is still a ? but in defense of the heavy top, there are bears up here so you do have to take measures to keep them away from humans.
Perhaps a call in advance to the RCI desk here at the would've resolved a lot of their problems. The RCI confirmation sheet includes the resort amenities and phone number for a reason.
Well, it's time for coffee, mustering the kids, and off to the slopes.

Nice place for rides. LINES FOR RIDES NOT TO LONG. Prices, well, zip line is very expensive, however if you buy the combo. Probaly you will get a nice deal. If you dont mind riding the same 4 rides over and over. Some rides do not work if rains.

Ok so I went with a group of well over 20 people and from the moment we got to the mountain we had problems... (Others in my group had a great time, I did not.) My troubles started down in the rental area where it was just total chaos. It isn't like other mountains where there is someone to assist you the entire time. As I finally figure out what to do I go to try my boots on and put my skis up against the wall. All of the sudden an extremely rude staff member comes by and tells me that they would not touch my skis and that I had to get the rental package... (unbeknownst to her I had bought the rental package just in case this happened at all.) She then remembered that there was a building at the mountain that did this sort of thing. I said, "Great! would you mind calling over to the place to check just in case they do not size my bindings to my bo-" "I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT FOR $30!" I couldn't believe that she would cut me off. At this point I'm pissed off and I tell her to call. She goes to her boss and gets the answer... (whatever) And she says "good thing you wanted me to ask they will not use the mountains rental equipment... (No apology was given to me.)
After getting my rental equipment after almost two hours of getting out of a line only to get back into a line I was finally ready to get going. I took my friend up to a green trail (He really does not know how to ski.) And half way down he has a bad fall. So after checking him out I decide that it is time for ski patrol to come. And the only good thing about the number is that SKI PATROL'S NUMBER IS ON THE LIFT TICKET (I didn't have my phone with me.) I try to flag down a staff member... And what does she do she skis right by me (3 feet away from me.) and continues down. She even made EYE CONTACT WITH ME! And I yelled and screamed at her.
After twenty minutes of waiting for someone to stop trying to get someone to call some very nice skiiers call ski patrol. They sent an extremely nice mountain host, and he was very nice to us. Finally ski patrol came. They finally got my ski buddy loaded up and down the mountian. At the first aid station everyone was extremely nice and professional.
Now this might have been an isolated incident, but if you are someone who needs to rent equipment be prepared to send at least an hour waiting. And if you are skiing with a beginner or are a beginner the green trails that I skied on had ice patches all over them...

The walls are paper thin. We could hear a couple fighting next door all night. Not good when your with your young kids. Also they had no hot or warm water. We couldnt bathe or shower. I might as well have gone camping. Apon calling the desk to let them know we had not had hot water for the day and night- he already knew. Said they tried to fix it. If they knew- why didnt they move us to another building?

The mountain coasters are fun if you don't mind the wait. Water slides were fun. If you can make it on a day that's not super crowded it's definitely a fun day, although expensive. We went in the summer so no idea on the skiing.

Great first time visit. We are beginner snowboarders and we went to this mountain because it had some good green/easy trails. The green trails and smaller lifts were perfect. Conditions were great, snow was great and it wasn't busy on the Wednesday we went.
Food in the pub was also solid and the service was as well.
Will update with better pictures next time.

The rooms are relatively nice here. And they have a great indoor pool and hot tub as well as a small game room. It is also very convenient to get to the mountain across the street for skiing and riding. Overall it is worth to stay. Especially for the price.

We went for a 2 day skiing trip to Attitash that was arranged a month before the trip (bought tickets and rentals), and when we arrived, they did not have any rentals left. Just offered us to pay our money back, and it was very disappointing after 3 hours of driving. At the same time Wildcat had power failure, so we were frustrated. They made everyone take money back, but we waited and at the end they found some skis for us.

I have been to Sunapee, Gunstock, and Pats peak so far, and this was the biggest mountain, worst service among them. The long lifts did not have foot rest, the lines in the cafeteria were just result of bad planning. Has great potential, but not so great management I guess.

Wouldn't rush back to Attitash for skiing. Worst base lodge I have seen in 35 years of skiing. 2nd base lodge was even worse than the first. Half mountain was closed. Very icy trails. Not much sun. Slow lifts. Not surprised it was almost empty.

Attitash did a great job accommodating a large party for an event. The lodge is big and has a good view of the terrain. The learning slopes are not as good as some of the other local mountains.
