Even with plenty of snow, some Colorado ski resorts are set to close soon (www.denverpost.com)

How much do ski hills rely on international travellers?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I don't know those numbers, but over the years, I have to say I've run into lots of tourists from not just other states, but other countries.

I would think it's fairly extensive. Hell, even if it was some very low number - let's say 10% of the business is foreign and that suddenly slows to some fraction of what it was before - if you are a business, you are going to notice and you are going to feel that contraction.

I'm seeing stories about how Canadian air travel to US is dropping by like 70%. That kind of thing is bound to impact things like the skiing industry, too...
