At the Attitash ski area in New Hampshire, there's another variation: a nine-hole golf course temporarily built on a black-diamond ski trail for an annual on-snow golf tournament next week. Todd Anthony, the resort's grooming manager, said he and his staff use snow-grooming machines to sculpture features like elevated tees and greens, roughs made from churned-up snow and holes marked by institutional-size food cans. Players must compete on skis or snowboards.
This course lacks one amenity, however, that's important to ski-golf competitors like Griffiths. Describing the approach of his ski-golf team at Whitefish in Montana, he said, "After we'd triple-bogey our third hole, it was time to settle down and get that beverage cart over to us."
