Attitash | <b>Military Salute Event</b>- The Best New Hampshire Skiing With NHs Most Powerful Snowmaking System

Join Attitash in Saluting Our Nation’s Heroes

January 23 and 24, 2010

Our 3rd Annual Military Salute Weekend is escalating to new heights. In addition to the activities we have offered in the past, Attitash is adding to this special weekend designed to thank the men and women of our military. Attitash will honor our nation's defenders and their families through FREE LIFT TICKETS for active, veteran and retired service men and women as well as discounted lift tickets ($45) for active duty family members on January 23 and 24, all with valid ID*.

Saturday's activities will include a downhill Flag Parade which starts on Attitash, and culminates with a color guard, guest speaker and the National Anthem in the base area. The parade is open to all and participants are welcome to bring their own US flag or use one of ours (limited quantities). Music during the outdoor parade and ceremony will be provided by the impressive US Air Force Colonial Brass Band. In addition, the US Air Force's amazing rock band, Afterburner, will perform from 3 pm to 6 pm in Ptarmigan's Pub on Saturday and 1 pm to 4 pm on Sunday.

Also on Sunday, a NEW fun race event to test the mettle (and competitive spirit) between branches is planned. Racers (including kids!) will select which branch they are racing to represent. The $5 entry fee will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. The popular Attitash “on snow” obstacle course returns to test your skills on Sunday, too.

Guests are encouraged to learn about soldiers' personal stories through displays in the base lodge.

The Grand Summit Hotel at Attitash is offering a 15% discount on lodging to military personnel for the weekend. Call 800.223.SNOW (76639) for reservations.

Come enjoy the snow, the activities and the camaraderie and say thank you to our nation's defenders!
