As many people know attitash hasn't had the greatest of parks in the past few years.  They just got a new GM and he really wants to get the park lookin good. Since we are with peak resorts as is mount snow attitash will have the guys who work on carinthia come down to work on attitash's park and also a little bit with wildcat mt.  These guys are going to be working on all of the three parks by rotating around, not as concentrated on wildcats.  They want to get Attitash's park looking as good as carinthia's.

any thoughts?

dean ludgate is his name. he's got a teal and yellow armada jacket he wears when he's not teaching. and didnt end up getting to come up thanks to a concussion... laid out backflip to tip catch to face smash, probably shoulda waited for the air bag haha.

how was it? any videos?

in a few weeks one of the guys on the park crew told me. but they plan on putting some jibs underneath the jumps they have in the "pipe" on lower ptarmigan. they were blowing snow on it and taking rails out to set them up, so if not this weekend deffs next weekend they should be up.

yes, it's going to be done where the "pipe" is a.k.a. lower ptarmigan. They r gonna throw some rails in and make a money booter which i'm pumped about. and there will obvs be easier elements like a flat box i'd assume for the younger kids

Pete grew up at atty.... and so did chris...
back in the day when drew levin, richie paradise, tucker perkins, pete and nick iodice were floating around that kind of stuff was the norm. Most people dont remember attitash's glory days

so i've been working at Attitash all summer and i hang out in the bike shop during my breaks. while being in there i hear a lot of the up and coming things for the new winter season. For the up and coming season the Terrain Park will no longer be on Thad's Choice. It will be moved to the Abenaki chairlift area. I'm super stoked on this because i've been talking about them moving the park to that area for a while. They will still hold events on Attitash in the "super pipe" area.

for those of you who don't know where the Abenaki is look at the picture provided below

ummmm, idk yet dude. i'm currents at school and i wont be at attitash all winter except for winter break. but my buddy Kyle is on park crew and he said they may be having new elements. they'll have more space in this area to be more creative i feel. but only if they put the effort it. the main issue has always been effort but kyle is the only one returning because i'm in school with Matt and Nolan who were the other two on the crew last year. They also have a shit ton of old jibs in the bone yard. if they fix them up it'd be sick!

i haven't heard anything, nor have i asked about opening weekend. a few of my buddies work on park staff (kyle ross and Mat Halupowski) if you know them you guys could hit them up and ask. Kyle would know most. Matt was saying how they're making new features, like for instance they're cutting half the rainbow in half and putting a flat bar on the cut off part. it sounds sick. they also got a 6 foot in diameter ball to jib, which was at the wildcat "rail jam" and they have an even bigger jib ball as well. They really plan on stepping the park up and are trying to make it similar to Carinthia at Mount Snow

yeah, Peaks Resorts owns Attitash, Wildcat, and Mount Snow. it'll obvs not be as great as Carinthia but they are making the idea of it where the park is in a secluded area so no gapers enter it, as much. Also they plan on having some people from mount snow come up to help build the park, they said this last year and they only came up once or twice and they want them to come up more this year... we shall see. I'm going to be there for training this weekend because i coach there but i wont be there every weekend cuz i'll be at Loon
