Colorado Ski Resorts See Strong Turnout in 2024-25
Colorado's ski industry has reported a robust season for 2024-25, with 13.8 million skier visits recorded across the state's resorts. This figure, announced by Colorado Ski Country USA at their 62nd Annual Meeting in Glendale, represents the third-highest total in the state's skiing history. The season's success came despite variable weather conditions, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of Colorado's ski industry.
The 2024-25 ski season in Colorado was characterised by its diversity in weather patterns. It began with promising snowfall in November, setting a solid foundation for the winter ahead. However, the mid-season brought inconsistent conditions that challenged resort operators. The season concluded with a snowy spring, allowing many ski areas to extend their operations well into May.
Melanie Mills, President and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA, praised the efforts of member resorts in navigating these changing conditions. She noted that despite the challenges, resorts managed to provide welcoming and enjoyable experiences for a wide range of visitors. This adaptability was key to achieving the high number of skier visits.
