Attitash Mountain Resort

For a third year, Attitash Mountain Resort will serve as a host venue for the POC Eastern States Cup . The Eastern States Cup (ESC) is a USA Cycling (USAC) Regional Championship Series with events being held in New  Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New   York. This year, Attitash Mountain Resort will host a POC ESC Enduro Series Race on July 15, 2013 and a POC ESC DH Race on September 14-15, 2013.  Both events will be NH States Championship Races.

“We are pleased to again host the Eastern States Cup events and to showcase the downhill and enduro terrain at Attitash to a visiting field of East Coast riders,” said Attitash Mountain Bike Programs Coordinator Nate Waterhouse. “The two weekend events, featuring the enduro event in July and the Downhill event in September, should be exciting races and fun weekends for the riders.”

Attitash has been offering lift-serviced, mountain biking since the late 90’s, but the sport and downhill technology has progressed significantly since then.  The courses will be a mix of descending open trails and single-track sections through the woods on Attitash Mountain. These are part of a greater network of 27 designated mountain biking trails that Attitash has continued to develop and maintain for summer & fall use.
Attitash has over 20 miles of mountain bike trails including the more difficult and technically challenging downhill trails and eight cross country trails more suited to all abilities and those just beginning to discover mountain biking as a recreational activity. The mountain bike season at Attitash Mountain Resort will open, weekends only, beginning Saturday, May 26 and will then be open daily for the summer beginning Saturday, June 16. Mountain bike season passes are available for only $99. The Dirt Trax Bike Shop, located on the main floor of the Attitash Base Lodge in the South Wing, stocks a full line of mountain bike clothing and accessories, as well as a fleet of rental bikes and protective gear.
