CONWAY, NH (April 24, 2017) - As the weather warms and the chairlifts stop spinning for the 2016/17 season, Ski New Hampshire's 34 ski area members reported a successful season overall, thanks in part to well-timed snow storms in the Granite State and the greater Boston area.

Though final numbers are still rolling in from the trade association's member resorts, a consistent weekly tally of skier visits from 10 of the state's alpine resorts shows that skier visits for the 2016/17 season are up 31 percent over last year. Nordic ski areas also saw a much healthier skier visit base than last season.

"Winter storms blew through when it really mattered this season: during Christmas vacation, leading up to Presidents' Weekend and February vacation, and during March for many resorts' spring events," says Karolyn Castaldo, Communications and Marketing Manager for Ski New Hampshire. The late season snow storms even allowed some resorts that typically close early to extend their season by a week or two.
