State hosted 5.2 million skiers and snowboarders between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28
The Summit Daily News reported on Tuesday, March 14, 2006, that Colorado ski resorts are one step closer to achieving their goal of hosting more than 12 million skiers and snowboarders this season, which will make the 2005-2006 winter season the state's best ever, and an increase of over 5 percent over the same period last season.
"The snow is the best it's been in 20 years, and the resorts have done a phenomenal job delivering that message around the globe" said Rob Perlman, Colorad Ski Country USA's president.
Front Range Destination resorts, which include Breckenrige, continue to lead the charge for the year with an increase of nearly 7 percent, or 200,000 skiers over last year's second period results. As Colorado looks forward to what is typically the snowiest month of the year, all indications point to a bright future for the Colorado ski industry.
In a related article titled "Second quarter a strong one for Vail Resorts", it was pointed out that Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Breckenridge, combined, saw an increase of 7.9 percent, or a record 2.9 million skiers.
As far as real estate values go, when you own real estate in a ski area that is prospering and expanding, you can expect you real estate holdings to do the same. For more information on the real estate market in Breckenridge and Summit County, go to Susan Gunnin's web site, or send her an email.
