Skier demographics

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I wonder what the demographic split is between regional customers and "from away". For the last few years, I am always bumping into a small but steady number of Brits who come to new england based on Resort promotions targetting them. It's no secret resorts are trying to attract people from father afield. So if the number are flat, that means the numbers of "locals" may be declining? That is, unless the number of Brits, etc. are statistically insignificant.... Just wondering....

Separately, I am fearful about what global warming is and will be doing to attendance. The Not In My Backyard behavior (no snow, no go) always drives demand (and drives me crazy). Will it get worse?

The brits have been coming to Stowe in large numbers for more than a decade mainly in the springtime..as for the Not in My Backyard behavior...I agree..Blue mountain PA had a record season because we actually had a cold and snowy winter..yes it only snowed 20 inches but there was snow on the ground for alot of January and February which are the only two months 85% of the people ski anyway..
