Attitash/Bear Peak located in Bartlett, NH is doing their part to reduce energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a more efficient way of creating snow.

Attitash Ski Area's primary sustainable goals reported in 2008 are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from it's diesel compressors by coninuing to add more efficient fan guns.  Attitash's ultimate mission is to add more fan guns and eliminate all rental compressors.  Along with eliminating compressors, Attitash is adding a closed loop cooling system for it's Centac compressors to save 1,000 of gallons of water per minute and to reduce the energy needed to cool the compressors.

Attitash is also working on a plan to eliminate as much erosion as possible by ensuring that all areas disturbed by construction and or by natural causes are reseeded.
