5. Publicised data or estimates when required.
Bit blurry - sorry maybe a Mod or an Admin can get it a bit clearer.

Numbers of visitors, alone, isn't much of a measure of "success", is it? Just size. Which resorts make the most money, I wonder? On what other criterion would La Plagne rank as "more successful" than, say St Anton or Verbier?

Glossary
| Quote: |
Hourly output of the lifts (skiers/hour): The manufacturer’s rated number of skiers
per hour a lift can transport to the top of the lift. Total country capacity is the sum
of all the individual lifts capacity.
Number of skiers transported yearly: Meant by number of passengers transported
per leg; one skier taking 5 times the same lift accounts for 5 skiers transported, also
called “Frequencies”.
Participation rate nationals: Rate of skiers in total country population.
Ski area: Notorious place of ski practice (in some countries, they may even account no
lifts)
Ski resort: A ski resort is considered as an organised ski area with more than four
lifts.
Skier visits (or skier-days): One person visiting a ski area for all or any part of a
day or night for the purpose of skiing, snowboarding, or other downhill sliding. Skier
visits include full-day, half-day, night, complimentary, adult, child, season pass and any
other type of ticket that gives a skier/snowboarder the use of an area's facilities.
Skiers: One person practising ski, snowboard or other downhill slide, independent of
the rate of practice.
Vertical Transport Meters per Hour (VTMH): Product of each individual lift hourly
capacity, times vertical (in fact the figure is usually expressed in thousands). |

Good question.
However, French based Compagnie des Alpes, the world’s largest ski resorts operator, is a highly profitable company but even they stumbled last year with ifirc a 5% drop in profits.
I guess it depends on how you personally measure success. If you add LP and LA together, Paradiski, on the table above, is far and away the visited ski area in the world. It would be nice if CdA re-invested into the resorts, one gets the impression that LP particularly is a cash cow for the CdA business. There are certainly a number of lifts that currently need replacement, although ifirc Les Arcs has a higher number of elderly lifts overall.

I suppose if you can cram in huge numbers without having to invest in expensive new lifts, that's definitely a success!

yep, week-ending Swedes haven't got much choice. It's there or somewhere terminally dull like Salen.

It beats me how the lift company round here makes much money, given that the pistes are so empty outside school hols. Makes it a most pleasant experience as a skier, but not so clever if you're trying to make money out of it!
