Each year the International Report on Snow & Mountain Tourism ranks the most visited ski areas based on the average annual skier visits.
The latest report, which includes the 2017-18, has just been published and we have the numbers. Interestingly, not a single US ski resort cracked the Top 10.
Skier visits = one person visiting a ski area for all or any part of a day or night for the purpose of skiing, snowboarding, or other downhill sliding activity. Skier visits include full-day, half-day, night, complimentary, adult, child, season pass and any other type of ticket that gives a skier/snowboarder the use of an area’s facilities. A skier skiing for a whole week at a resort accounts for 7 skier visits (for example).
