(AP) — Vermont ski resorts lost an estimated $100 million this winter during the pandemic, according to the Vermont Ski Areas Association. State officials estimate that equates to $700 million in losses for the economy, the Rutland Herald reported. “I think we are just beginning to see what the long-term effects of the pandemic will be,” Vermont Commissioner of Tourism and Marketing Heather Pelham told the newspaper. “We do expect economic recovery will take several years. I don’t think the economic impacts on our restaurants and innkeepers can be understated.” Season pass holders got to the resorts more, and sales of those passes were up at some areas, but ticket-buying skier visits were down about 40% through the end February, said VSAA president Molly Mahar. Lodging revenue dropped by 60% and food and beverage revenue was down by 70%, Mahar said.
