U.S. Ski Industry Reports 5th-Best Season On Record
The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) released its preliminary skier visit numbers for the 2023-24 season. It is reporting a total of 60.4 million visitors, which ranks as the fifth-best on record in NSAA books dating back to the 1978-79 season.
A cold and snowy spring delivered record-breaking totals to many Western slopes, and visitors lapped it up.
Despite alarmist calls of a diminishing U.S. ski industry due to cLiMaTe ChAnGe, the opposite is playing out. Ski resorts for the fourth year in a row now have registered top-10 seasons for visitor numbers.
Checking with the records, this season, 2023/24, will rank as the 5th-best; last season, 2022/23, was the best-ever (also the snowiest season ever); 2022/21 rank as the 2nd-best; with 2020/21 coming 7th-best.
The US ski industry is booming.

Alarmist caterwaulings re. the future of US ski industry continue to be proved catastrophically wrong, as do their calls for an ice free Arctic, for the melting of Greenland, for sea level rise, for polar bear and honey bee extinctions, for the death of the Great Barrier Reef, for increased hurricane activity, and for flood and drought intensity. It falls on independent outlets to point out these catastrophic failures because of the establishment’s concerted effort to paint a narrative of climate doom.
The legacy media and scientific community have been captured. And dogma rules.
