Despite a still-struggling economy, but bolstered by one of the best snow seasons in recent memory, Colorado's ski resorts hosted between 2.6 and 3.9 percent more skiers and riders this season than last season.
And the season's not over yet...
Don't forget that the season has not officially ended since Arapahoe Basin is open for at least two more three-day weekends, starting today through Sunday, and then back up and running the following weekend, June 17-19. July 4 weekend is up in the air, but still a distinct possibility. A-Basin currently has a 77-inch mid-mountain base so it will be a race against warmth and the resulting snow melt to see if July 4 is viable.
