Colorado Ski Country USA Announces Projected Skier Visits for Colorado's 2024-25 Ski Season
'This season brought a little bit of everything, starting off strong with solid snowfall in November, followed by weather variability mid-season and a snowy spring that kept many ski areas open well into May,' said Colorado Ski Country USA President and CEO Melanie Mills. 'Our member resorts did a great job of adapting to changing conditions while offering a welcoming and enjoyable experience for a broad range of visitors.'
Skier visits are the metric used to track participation in skiing and snowboarding. A skier visit represents one person participating in the sport of skiing and snowboarding for any part of one day at a ski resort. Today's projection is preliminary and subject to adjustment.
The 2024–25 season saw meaningful developments across Colorado Ski Country USA member resorts, with a continued focus on access, guest experience, and community impact. Eldora opened its new Caribou Lodge, a multi-use facility that now houses Ignite Adaptive Sports, reinforcing the resort's ongoing support for adaptive snowsports on the Front Range. Ski Cooper prioritized value this season, with $45 midweek lift tickets and all non-peak days priced under $100.
New offerings and events added fresh energy to the season at several resorts. Aspen Snowmass hosted the debut of The Snow League, the first professional snowboarding league created by legendary snowboarder Shaun White. Arapahoe Basin welcomed the International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA), drawing top freeride athletes to one of Colorado's most challenging venues. Copper Mountain buzzed all season, hosting the X Games Street Style Pro and the USASA National Championships.
Safety remained a priority across the state. Colorado Ski Country USA worked closely with resorts and partners to promote responsible on-mountain behavior, culminating in the recognition of Ski Safety Awareness Day by Governor Jared Polis on January 23.
'This season showed the many ways Colorado's ski areas provide places for people to connect—with the mountains and with each other,' said Mills. 'Across our member resorts, we saw people carving their first turns, reconnecting with annual traditions, and finding their place on the slopes. In a chaotic world, skiing remains a meaningful touchstone for so many. Colorado's ski areas welcome skiers and snowboarders from around the state, the country and the world, to escape to our slopes and enjoy our genuine Colorado hospitality.'
In recognition of the work it takes to get the slopes ready for visitors every single morning of ski season, CSCUSA celebrates the folks 'behind the snow' with the Double Diamond Awards ceremony at its Annual Meeting.
Awards celebrating the standout Groomer, Snowmaker, Terrain Park Specialist, Food and Beverage and Guest Services team members, Ski Patrol, and Ski Instructor of the Year will be announced later today at Infinity Park in Glendale. A release with photos will be distributed next week.
Colorado Ski Country USA offers a suite of pass programs designed to help families ski together: the kids' Ski Passport, Gems Teen and Parent Passes, and the Gems Discount Card.

JetBack Launches to Help Travelers Automatically Get Airline Credits When Flight Prices Drop
Seattle, WA , July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JetBack, a new travel savings app for iOS and Android, has officially launched with a mission to make airfare price-drop refunds automatic. The app monitors your flights and files credit claims for you when prices decrease – no forms, no fine print, no App - Get Airline Refunds Automatically When Prices DropMost major U.S. airlines offer credits when prices fall after purchase. But travelers rarely claim them because the process is opaque and time-consuming. JetBack changes that. "Our users just forward their flight confirmation emails, and we take care of the rest," said Bryan Dubno, founder of JetBack. "If the airline owes you money, we'll make sure you get it." How It Works: - Users forward flight confirmation emails to JetBack. - JetBack tracks the price of each eligible booking in real time. - When a price drop qualifies for a credit, JetBack files the claim on the user's behalf. - Users receive the airline credit directly without lifting a finger. Many travelers don't realize that even non-refundable tickets can qualify for a credit when prices fall. JetBack tracks these opportunities automatically with no need to sync your email or enter details manually. With airlines increasingly using AI and real-time pricing algorithms, fare volatility is higher than ever. JetBack gives travelers a way to protect their wallet after booking. Early savers are already seeing credits of $220 per flight on average. JetBack guarantees that members always come out ahead: users only pay if JetBack saves them more than the cost of the membership. JetBack is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
