More skiers and snowboarders are visiting Canadian ski areas

In the first part of this study, we will explore the development of the ski industry in Canada, after taking a short historical detour. In part two we will examine the characteristics of American travellers who visited Canadian ski areas (to ski or snowboard) during an overnight stay in Canada in the winter of 1998-99. Lastly, we will take a quick look at some characteristics of the overseas skier/snowboarder and at their contribution to the Canadian economy.
