Attitash Bear Peak, January 13-15

Went up to the White Mtns on MLK weekend from So. NH and was expecting super crowded. Got to the Attitash lodge at 8am and the place looked like a ghost town. Plenty of space to stretch out. I asked a guy who worked there why it was dead and he responded "the vacationers don't show up til 9:30-10am". Well that couldn't have been more true. I got 2 hours of awesome skiing in with hardly anyone else out there and not even a tiny lift line. Once the rush of people showed, it was all at once and some lift lines started but quickly diminished. There were tons of people there but it never quite seemed crowded. Illusion and Avenger on Bear Peak were phenomenal and Tim's Trauma and Idiot's Option were killer steeps. I never really saw a crowded trail except for the terrain park. But most were skiing respectfully through there. Awesome hits in that park. It's fun. Any how, for a weekend I expected to only ski 1/2 days to beat crowds, I ended up spending all day on all 3 days on snow. Three cheers for Attitash!
