The total number of visits to Vermont ski areas may have hit 4 million again this year. Last season, the number of visits to the 20 ski areas across the state topped out at 4,068,698. According to the Vermont Ski Areas Association, the steadily favorable temperatures in the mountains may have contributed to a high number of skiers and riders despite the lack of significant snow storms in Vermont this winter. Large amounts of snow in nearby metropolitan areas also contributed. The final number for this season will be released at the association s annual meeting at Stratton Mountain Resort in June.
