New York ski resorts are pretty proud that they attracted over 4 million skiers this year making them the fourth most popular ski state behind Colorado, California, and Vermont. Last season set a new record for New York in terms of skier visits and lift line waits. Perhaps that has something to do with the news that Dynafit it on track to have a record setting season next year. It’s odd that these are the top four most-skiingist states. I wonder if counting backcountry trips would edge Utah into the top four? I understand that NY and CA would be in the top because of their massive populations, but I’m not sure how Vermont got in there unless they count most of their visitors from NY also.

Vermont has a ton of resorts–I think it’s third in that category as well. Vermont isn’t very populated but it is the best ski destination on the populous east coast. In addition to New York, add Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey within driving distance and it shouldn’t come as any surprise that it’s #3. This isn’t brain surgery here.
Still sucks though
Where does Utah fit in? Below New York?
