Utah’s ski numbers are in!

I was losing patience as I looked for the Utah score, and it took the arrival of the dog days of July to see Ski Utah publishing its excellent visitation numbers for its 2023-24 ski season. 

Beating last year would have been close to impossible giving our anemic, early season that didn’t bode too well, but when loads of snow changed everything after the new year, it all became unstoppable, to the point that this past ski season will be the second busiest in Utah’s history, marked by 6,746,008 skier visits across Utah’s 15 ski resorts. 

Last year’s monster winter snow set the record with 7.1 million skier visits, far surpassing the 5.8 million skier visits in the 2021-22 season. As usual, I continue my attempts in estimating which resort got what out of this bonanza, on the table to the right… 

So that's it, as we're ready to break all temperature records in Utah during the next 3 days, skiing is alive and well in our State and if we look at the impending rise in global temperatures, it’s only fair to ask, for how much longer?
