Staying with friends who are skiing at Attitash mountains, looking for some fun things to do around there during the day because I don’t ski
Hi! In mid January me and a few friends are getting an Airbnb near the Attitash mountains. Me and another friend don’t ski, so we were looking to find something to do during the day when the others are on the slopes. Any suggestions welcome, food , activities, sights, etc! Thank…

"I admit, I'm a ski fanatic...I could spend hours in that back library looking at all the old books and magazines spaning the last 75 or more years of skiing.
If you are a skier and traveling through the area, this is a great little museum to spend an hour or two. Lots of interesting stuff. We really enjoyed it!"

"Cute little museum worth a quick stop. It's free but they suggest a $5 donation. My favorite part was all the old skis lined up next to each other. Cool to see some of the historic ski equipment. They require face coverings still."
Justine Vild
"Small but well-done museum of the history of skiing in New Hampshire. Located in the center of North Conway adjacent to Schuyler Park. Exhibits with good signage. I was there for a memorial gathering and so did not explore the gift shop or a room which appeared to hold research and historic materials. There are restrooms at the rear of the building, accessible from a door on the outside. On-street parking only."
