20 Percent of Colorado skier visits were in Eagle, Co.

Skiers and snowboarders logged 12.5 Million days at Colorado mountain resorts, a new Record.  This years visits from Colorado residents, other states and international skiers was driven by the great snow conditions in early season.  Both Vail and Beaver Creek mountains had the best snow at the top of their mountains in nine years.  In addition, the ski industry and Colorado Ski Country have been working on increasing the marketing position of the great ski experience in Colorado for years. 

Vail Mountain had 1.67 Million skier and Beaver Creek had 875,000 visits in the 2005-2006 ski season.  The increased airplane service of Southwest and Frontier to Denver Airport  and the added connections at our Eagle airport, helped the skier numbers too. 

The goal is now set for 13 Million. The word is out on what a great experience skiers and snowboarders can have in Colorado.  So make your travel plans early and come and enjoy all that the mountains have to offer.
