DENVER—Record snowfall helped boost the number of visits to Colorado ski areas to about 5.54 million visits in January and February.
The total is a 6.7 percent increase from the same period a year ago and puts Colorado on pace to best last year’s record.
The season got off to a slow start because of a dry spell late last year. Since then, the mountains have been hit by storms that have dumped several feet of snow.
The trade group Colorado Ski Country USA says the favorable exchange rate has attracted international visitors.
