Known as the red carpet ski area, it grew throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. In July of 1994, Attitash was purchased by LBO Resort Enterprises. Starting that year, the Bear Peak area was developed, dramatically increasing the size of "Attitash Bear Peak." The name would changed back to "Attitash" in 2004. On June 28, 1996, Attitash Bear Peak became owned by American Skiing Company. On April 5, 2007, Attitash was sold to Peak Resorts.
