Shopping

Attitash has a few good shops to enjoy, but for those in search of some ski or snowboarding apparel, they need not look further than Attitash Sports, which is a full-service ski shop offering jackets, snowpants, helmets, goggles, backpacks, and much more. There are two Attitash Sports shops, one in the Main Base Lodge, their flagship store, and another at the Adventure Center. Visitors need not worry should they forget their gear, Attitash has them covered.

Nightlife

Apres ski options in Attitash are fairly limited, though there is the Ptarmigan's Pub, which offers two full bars, dining, and live music every Saturday afternoon.

Holiday activities

There are lots of activities at Attitash, apart from the obvious skiing and snowboarding. There is also a miniature water park, an alpine slide, mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding to choose from, which also makes Attitash a popular summer resort too.
