BARTLETT — In a move that would — if it actually happens — bring a smile to the faces of loyal Attitash skiers, Vail Resorts Inc. has applied with the U.S. Forest Service to replace the faltering and slow Summit Triple chairlift with a high speed quad.
The summit of Attitash is located on the White Mountain National Forest, hence the requirement to acquire a special use permit from the USFS.
