Skiers and snowboarders made 64.7 million trips to the slopes between October and early May — up 6.6% over 2021-22. Of those, a record 27.9 million visits occurred in the Rocky Mountain region, which includes Utah, Colorado and four other states.
Those long seasons will also boost visitation numbers. Saia Isaac noted that this report just includes preliminary numbers. It also only tracks skier visits — a statistic one person could beef up by getting in a hundred days in a season — rather than skier numbers. Those stats, she said, should be available in June.
It’s not just due to the snow, though. The residual effects of a pandemic-driven increase in outdoor recreation and investments in infrastructure and staffing by resorts also contributed to drawing in more trips to the slopes this season, Saia Isaac said. This season is just the third to break the 60-million visitor mark in the 45 years that NSAA has been keeping data. The other two were in 2007-08 and 2010-11 — both exceptional snow seasons. Visitation dropped precipitously after 2010-11, which Saia Isaac attributed to a particularly dismal snow year. Yet she said even if the snow barely shows next season, the industry does not expect to see a similar decline in visitors.
