Record crowds pack ski areas across nation
Article Abstract:
The snowfall in 1983-84 has resulted in a record number of skier-days in the New England states. The more consistent weather in the West led to too much snow in some areas with an increase in closures. The Rockies with twice the normal snowfall have experienced record skier attendance. Skier days are down in the Pacific Northwest due to rain over the holidays. Excellent snow conditions throughout the Midwest tended to keep skiers close at home.

Early warning signals are noted.
