Good news for the sport.

We have articles from Colorado (4% increase) http://www.aspenbusinessjournal.com/article.php?id=8796

New Hampshire - http://www.alpinezone.com/news-and-...new-hampshire-announces-201213-visit-numbers/ (20% increase over last year and 5% increase over a ten year average)
Vermont -http://www.alpinezone.com/news-and-...s-set-best-year-since-2001-with-4-5mm-visits/ (had its best year since 2001, up 16% over last year)

I'm guessing this is consistent in Maine and other states as well where there might not be a ski area association. I'm sure part of it had to do with the continual snowfall; I wonder how next year will shape up.

We need a season with some really good old fashion blizzards! It is nice to have frequent snowfall but something that blankets New England with 30+ inches! A few of those with frequent 6-12" storms and I am good!

Like 1996 and 2000 lots of blizzards then.
