Based on the initial numbers from SIA, skier numbers were up by around 4% in the 2014/15 season, with the same percentage rise in the number of snowboarders.
Why should you care? Well hopefully it’ll help stop your local resort going out of business for one thing. But perhaps more...
Not long ago it became public that SBC Skier, arguably the closest thing left to a core print ski mag in North America, had filed for bankruptcy. But as the saying goes, from the ashes rises the phoenix. And so with great pleasure we can reveal that while SBC is dead, thankfully its team is not...
