Colorado is taking a step back…

While Utah broke all records after a weird, challenging but highly successful Covid-19 season, Colorado didn’t fare nearly as well. It couldn’t not beat, let alone come close to its record-breaking 2018-2019 ski season and its 13.8 million skier-days, instead “reaching approximately 12 million”. 

This, to me, as I read through the lines, means that our neighbor state got less than that round 12 million number… 


Of course, late snow is blamed for this lackluster performance, as well as indirectly, without naming it specifically, Vail Resorts’ convoluted reservation system, that could only cost visitations without, in my opinion, impacting positively the pandemic. 

Finally, there are simply too many people who ski on Colorado slopes and the users are starting to be fed up, and are voting not with their feet, but with their alpine randonnée gear.
