06/13/2003: "Colorado high on skier visits"
SUMMIT COUNTY - In a year that saw war, a feeble economy, airline bankruptcies and SARS, somehow, some way, Colorado posted its fourth-highest number of skier visits in history.
The 2002-03 ski season saw an increase of nearly 4.3 percent for a total of 11.6 million overall visits in the state. Nationwide, the Associated Press reported the National Ski Areas Association as saying ski areas are expected to post a record tally of 57.6 million. (Summit Daily News)
