In real estate, it’s all about the location. In books, it’s all about the idea. In ski resorts, when it comes to skier days, it’s all about the snow.
Despite a down economy, some of the best snow in the state apparently helped the Telluride ski area attract more visitors than it did last year, bucking a statewide slide in skier days.
Skier days in Colorado during January and February saw a “small dip” of 4 percent, reported Colorado Ski Country USA, an industry trade group, when compared to numbers from the previous year. Over the whole season, skier days statewide are down 2 percent, the group said.
In Telluride, in contrast, things are looking up.
