Vermont’s Ski Season Shatters Records

Vermont’s ski resorts just delivered their best season in over a decade, smashing records with 4.36 million skier visits — up nearly 5% from last year and 11% above the 10-year average. Outpacing the Northeast and national trends, Vermont leads the East Coast and ranks fourth nationally. With 118 days of operation (up from 111) and solid snowmaking helping offset below-average snowfall, resorts kept crowds coming through December, January, and February. Holiday travel and colder weekends helped sustain demand, even as spring skiing shortened. Cross-country skiing also surged 5%, hitting 339,000 visits — with some trails even adding snowmaking. It’s a win for Vermont’s snow reputation and the hardworking resorts that keep skiers and snowboarders coming back for more. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
