When does ski season begin?

It’s grow to be a convention to characteristic it on the house web page and replace it as crucial. In the previous couple of years life has returned to a extra sort of costlier regular. One immutable fact: we had some glorious ski days this season.
One factor that has returned, are skiers. Skier visits have been down however nonetheless comparatively excessive at, 60.4 million down 6 p.c from final season. The Rockies have been the most well-liked, with 26.7 million visits. Northeast was second at 12.4 million.
