22/11/2016
Trade association Snow Sports Industries America (SIA) has in its 2016 Snow Sports Market Intelligence Report that 11.6 million skiers and 7.6 million snowboarders were active in the course of the 2015-2016 season. These figures refer to the US only.

Of the 11.6 million skiers, 4.6 million (almost 40%) participated in free skiing rather than alpine skiing; this is 4% higher than the number of free skiers the season before.

SIA’s figure put the value of the market at $4.7 billion for the season, almost flat with the season before.
