The second period's boost in visitation continued to keep the industry ahead in season-to-date totals compared to the same point in time last year. For the 2013/14 season to date, defined as opening day through February 28, 2014, visitation at CSCUSA resorts was up by 13 percent compared to the same time last season.

“Several factors contributed to the season-to-date bump including incredible conditions, consistent snowfall, enjoyable winter temperatures, and positive economic news. Also, an Olympic year always tends to generate excitement around skiing and snowboarding, Colorado's signature sports,” says Melanie Mills, CSCUSA president and CEO.
