Excuses, excuses!From Attitash today:
COLD FRONT COMING IN HOT
A LITTLE NATURAL SNOW & NEW SHOT OF COLD
The snow is on the ground and the holidays are around the corner! It took a little while but it officially feels like winter here in the north country. Our mountain operations team is working hard at providing a grand slam opening. So naturally the question is... When will Attitash open?
The answer is Friday, December 16, 2016!
Why wait you might ask? By waiting our snowmakers & groomers can be out on the snow as much as possible. They can place snow making equipment where necessary and stay focused on getting the snow down where it needs to pile up. All without the worry of skier traffic. Patience pays off and we believe that opening up day one with a wide variety of terrain is the best way to go.
Translated: we have made the decision to save labor costs by pushing our customers over to Wildcat one more weekend.
Not that I'd be skiing Attitash this weekend, but if I owned one of those expensive homes over at Bear Creek I'd be pretty annoyed.

I think Attitash's snowmaking is more than adequate. Really the only improvement the place needs is a HSQ to the summit and a refresh of Ptarmigans

I doubt the capital invested in Cat would have gone to Attitash. I'm guessing others probably don't think so either because people have been begging for a new summit lift for years and have been told no way.Oh yeah their snowmaking is certainly adequate. But I wonder if other improvements would have been made. I doubt it, but do others feel that way.
Me? Poaching? I prefer to call it inspecting. A public service. Checks and balances against ski patrol. Keep em honest!
