By SCOTT CONDON, THE ASPEN TIMES ASPEN — Aspen Skiing Co. executives are looking for a better performance this season after the company's skier visits failed to match the growth rates of the national ski industry, the Colorado ski industry and rival Vail Resorts last season. David Perry, Skico senior vice president, mountain division, told Pitkin County commissioners that the Skico's 1.7 percent growth to 1,361,000 skier visits last winter was disappointing. “Although we were glad to see a little bit of an increase year over year, we don't think we did well enough, to be honest,” he said. “We think the bar was up where Colorado (as a whole) was.” The 22 members of Colorado Ski Country USA, a state trade association, logged a 2.6 percent increase. That growth includes the Skico's four ski areas. Vail Resorts recorded a 4 percent increase at its four Colorado resorts. |
