That article does not say that the hotel had 100,000 visitors. It says that the hotel helped the RESORT achieve 100,000 visitors, which presumably includes skiers and bikers.

Repairs and upgrades must be helping, along with the good early temps and snow.

Burke Mountain: The summer at Burke was busy with upgrades to the existing snowmaking infrastructure including a new booster pump at the summit. The new addition will double our summit capacity giving us the opportunity to cover more terrain faster. Air and water pipes have also been repaired and replaced on our lower mountain ski trail, Bunker Hill. Snowmaking controls are being upgraded so snowmakers have a more user-friendly and accurate system that gets more snow on the hill faster.

You beat me to it. Very cool promotion. Very cool to see Burke go early.

Always good to see creative promotions. Burke will need to think outside the box to thrive. So glad that dopey Q is gone from the name. Now if it could just find the right ownership...

From the article:
The situation is not as rosy at Burke Mountain, he wrote. Revenue for the last ski season was less than anticipated, and skier visits were down 6 percent. The ski area hotel that opened to much excitement in 2016 lost money during the 2017-18 skiing season, though bookings were up over this past summer.

60 more job openings on top of the number of employees they already have, seems a little ambitious. Even if they added a big snowmaking crew of 30-45 people, where do you come up with the other jobs?

It used to be they didn't need direct jobs but could show indirect jobs such as jobs at local businesses that had been added.
