US Ski Areas weathered Covid-19 well

According to the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), skier visits in the U.S. totaled 59 million during the 2020-21 winter season, . 

It was the fifth best season on record and a strong improvement upon the pandemic-truncated 2019-2020 season, which tallied 51.1 million visits. 

In spite of very low expectations, capacity restrictions, need for reservations in some cases and prevailing public fear, US ski areas ended up the season remarkably well. 

The average American ski resort was open for 112 days this past season, up from 99 days in the shortened 2019-20 season, yet shy of the 121 days ski areas operated on average during the 2018-2019 season. 

The market is quite resilient, albeit stubbornly flat, and it should bode well for an even stronger 2020-2021 season, if of course, snow is there...
