According to this press release, Sunday River and Sugarloaf broke their records for skier days. Unreal. It also reports that Loon broke their record as well.

That's great..I wonder how numbers were compared to average...all the resorts are comparing to 06-07 which was a bad season for the Northeast..at least when it came to the major holidays..

None of it really will be new until someone releases actual skier visit numbers, which none of these resorts has to do because they aren't public. With SR and SL have their best seasons ever, you can take some guesses as to how many skier visits each had, but with those combined percentages, it makes it hard. I would think that SL benefits quite a bit from being grouped with SR in this department as rumors have SR's skier visits well over anything they have seen and SL just can't get the numbers that SR does. SL skiers will tell you that they would rather it stay that way, but they also want new lifts, so go figure. Anyway, I'm surprised Okemo hasn't thrown a number out there, but perhaps their somewhat newly acquired #2 skier visit ranking went by the wayside this past season. I wouldn't be surprised if SR took that back and the place didn't even seem busy. The wild card seems to be KMart. I don't know if POWDR would release such figures, but it sounds like they took a hit this year, which is a big deal because even if they had 800k skier visits, they have almost twice the fixed costs of other resorts. That could translate into a "bad" year for K. I suspect we won't get anything out of them. It was goos to read those numbers from Sunapee. Getting that far over 200k is huge deal for a mountain that size. Saddleback wouldn't know what to do if they got more than a quarter of those skier visits, but that's a whole different animal. Saddleback with large numbers would be odd.
...I'm pretty sure I made no sense anywhere in the above rambling, but it was kind of fun.
