New Hampshire: Attitash Mountain Resort: Expansions Ski Area Expansions   Summit at Attitash Mountain Resort Summit Details Status: Open First Season of Operation: 1986-87 Lifts: 1 chairlift Terrain: Intermediate and expert terrain Return to Attitash Mountain Resort Profile In a quest for modernization, Attitash planned its first sizable expansion in some time in the mid-1980s. Though not extending to anywhere near the true summit of "Big Attitash Mountain," a new "summit" chairlift was ordered for 1986. A CTEC triple chairlift, climbing 1,881 feet over a run of 6,205 feet, was installed from the base to the new "summit," resulting in the extension of a few trails and the addition of new one. In part because of the summer operations of the lift, and also perhaps because of the long ride time (being a fixed grip chairlift of over a mile in length), the Summit Triple has also been referred to as the "Scenic Chair."
