MARTINSVILLE, N.J. (May 11, 2010) – The following ski season commentary is offered by Condor Capital President and Founder Ken Schapiro:
Despite fears about a weak ski season courtesy of the nation’s economic woes, resorts generally saw improved performance across the country, a welcome reprieve from last year’s across the board double digit declines. In fact, the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) recently released a preliminary report indicating the U.S. ski industry recorded 59.7 million visits, its second best season ever.
