Maddie Corkery, 20, skims along the top of the water while participating in the Spring Splash during the closing day of the 2023-24 ski season at Eldora Ski Area on April 21. After two years of record-setting numbers, skier visits at U.S. resorts fell 7% this past season to 60.4 million, fifth most since the National Ski Areas Association began tracking them in 1978-79.

In a news release, NSAA noted that unseasonably warm temperatures delayed the start of the ski season in much of the country. While snowfall was excellent across much of Colorado, that was not the case in many regions of the country. The average snowfall for U.S. ski areas was 158 inches, a 30% decline from last season. Thirteen Colorado ski areas received in excess of 300 inches, led by Steamboat and Winter Park .
