Here's a WSJ article about how it's getting more difficult to find senior ctizen ski deals due to an overall increase in skiers age.
We're getting old
This surprised me..."While it's difficult to tell how many senior-citizen skiers there are,
visitors aged 45 and older made up 31% of total ski-resort business in the last season, up from 21% seven years ago, according to a report by the National Ski Areas Association, a Lakewood, Colo., industry group."
That's a much higher % than I would have guessed.
