Rumor has it that Peak Resorts, owner of attitash, Mount Snow, Crotched and some other mountains in the mid west bought up Wildcat in New Hampshire. Anyone got any facts or what this means for the mountains??
I'm not really okay with this. Wildcat is were i ski and i love it because of how it isn't crowded, It's a local's mountain and there is some fucking gnarly shit thats unmarked and (mostly) inbounds. If any of these epic runs get closed/made public i would be furious. To the untrained eye, wildcat has 2 glades. But to anyone that knows, there is no reason to ski on the trail.
Wildcat Mountain Is Now Part Of Peak Resorts. Adding To Its Portfolio Of Resorts Located In Six U.S. States, Including Attitash Mountain Resort And Crotched Mountain In New Hampshire And Mount Snow In Vermont, Wildcat Mountain Becomes The 12th Ski Resort
We are pleased to announce that Wildcat Mountain and Attitash will be offering (click here) season passes, lift ticket products, and even gift cards that are valid at both resorts for the 2010/2011 season. When you consider the opportunity and value that these two resorts can offer, each with unique individual attributes that include New Hampshire’s most advanced snow making system; over 200” of natural snowfall annually; #1 scenery; most powerful and arguably fastest high-speed summit chairlift; highly regarded snow sports programs; freestyle terrain parks; slope side lodging; long spring season; and over 125 trails and more than 535 acres of terrain variety combined; skiers & riders visiting or living in the greater Mount Washington Valley area now have a multi-mountain pass that offers value, variety, and vertical to two of New Hampshire’s best resorts within an easy 15 minute drive of one another."
I ski like 85% park and even though i'd like to see a legit park there, I'd rather wildcat stay the way it is. The mountain is like no other, awesome steeps, bumps, and tight lines. Plus doesn't wildcat have the tallest vertical drop in NH? You know the first thing they're going to do is build up every aspect of the Mtn upping the price on everything, which will intern attract lots of families, gapers, and huge crowds.... FUCKKK
