Resort Boosts Prices As Shredding Seniors Ski More
Older Skiers Hitting Slopes More Than Younger Skiers, Industry Group Says
March 28, 2012
DURANGO, Colo. -- For seniors, there’s a downside to living longer and staying healthier: paying more to ski.
The growing number of people remaining healthy and active into their 60s and 70s prompted Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort to increase its season pass prices for that demographic ***Skiers ages 66 and older average between 10 and 11 days per year at ski resorts in Colorado, Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association, located in Lakewood, told the Herald. The 56-to-65 demographic averages between eight and nine times a year. That compares with only five to six times a year average for all skiers 46 and younger, he said. ***
