Vail’s Ski Season Takes a Major Hit

Vail Resorts just dropped some wild numbers: skier visits are down 20% this season, and it’s not just the slopes feeling empty—ski school and food sales are way down too. Blame it on one of the weakest early snowfalls in 30 years. Only 11% of terrain was open in December! Warm weather is messing with more than just your winter plans—farmers and snow plow crews are feeling it, while golf courses are loving life. #Travel #VailResorts #SkiSeason

It couldn’t possibly be the price of lift tickets?

Huge,overated hill....Crowds of brass, glass and glitz..Summitt County is full of so many better spots to hammer 30/ 40 and rarely stand in line..

the prices for lift tickets is absolutely ridiculous now $200 dollars for a lift ticket 800 for two people to ski for a weekend, add the lodging food its 2000 grand for a simple ski trip now

forget the skiing for this year.its totally shot.and the golf courses should be forced to reduce their water usage.we are in a mega drought.Water should be used for necessities,irrigation for crops,and drinking water for the masses. Not golf courses and car washes and lawns in people's yards and city parks We r headed for some rough times. Wake up people. Too bad it hasn't been cold enough to make a lot of snow..Snowmaking takes water that would have run out of our state in the winter and stores it on the mountainsides as snowpack. Not much opportunity for that this year though.
