Ski season isn’t over yet, but there are hints that smaller Colorado ski areas closer to cities had more to cheer about this season than destination resorts.
Among resorts that have closed for the season, Monarch Mountain west of Colorado Springs expected to report a record of about 183,000 skier visits. Sunlight Mountain Resort in Glenwood Springs and Powderhorn near Grand Junction said skier days rose 10 percent from last year, while Ski Cooper reported a 6 percent boost. Officials at Eldora Mountain Resort near Boulder also expected an increase but didn’t discuss exact numbers.
Colorado Ski Country USA will release numbers for its 22 member resorts in June.
