Utah's record breaking ski numbers!

While the previous season tallied 4,145,321 skier days, the 2018-19 season broke all records, with a stunning 5,125,441 skier days, that is more than twice as much as when we came to Park City in 1985 and up 24% over the previous year.

According to Nathan Rafferty, president and CEO, one Ski Utah member - Solitude, I suspect - said that pass holder visits were up 40% this season. Abundant now was instrumental in making that possible and so was the onslaught of the Epic and Ikon pass helped push the numbers over the 5 million mark.

As always, the visitation numbers are just a total without disclosing which resort did what. To address this blind spot, I always try to reconstruct how they're spread among individual resorts.

As a destination, Park City and its two mountains (Park City and Deer Valley) now amount to the largest ski area in North America with well over 2,2 million visitors!

Of course, the Utah tally is still running, as Snowbird may stay open well into June or all the way to July 4, conditions permitting. An excellent reason for me to get there and add my own skier-day!
