MADISON â New Hampshireâs ski industry could see a return of an estimated 40,000 skiers and riders from Canada if that country and the United States allow the border to fully reopen this winter.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of the border, but with increased vaccinations, Canada announced Monday it would allow fully vaccinated United States residents to visit as of Aug. 9.
While the United States has not announced any plans to allow Canadian citizens to come south as yet, it has the potential to improve tourism in the Granite State this coming winter.
The latest economic development study of the stateâs ski industry, conducted by researchers at Plymouth State University, indicated that about 1.9 percent of all overnight visitors to resorts here came from Canada.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL, as the saying goes, and that was especially true this warm and sunny Thursday, after the separate announcements by President Joe Biden and Gov. Chris Sununu one year into this pandemic.
President Biden cautioned that we as Americans must do our part by getting vaccinated and not prematurely abandoning mask wearing, social distancing and other measures that stem the spread of the virus.
Meanwhile, Gov. Sununu announced Thursday he is relaxing some of the Granite Stateâs restrictions, including allowing retail stores to again operate at full capacity and no longer requiring travelers arriving in the state to quarantine.
WELCOME TO OUR first anniversary month of the New Normal.
It was in mid-March of last year when the world as we knew it changed after Gov. Chris Sununu imposed his Stay-at-Home emergency orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I recall interviewing Conway Village Fire Chief Steve Solomon and asking about precautions. When he mentioned PPE, I had to ask what those now all-too-familiar letters stood for: Personal Protection Equipment, something I didnât have a clue about but which, like everyone, I now am familiar with, along with wearing a mask in public as a requirement of daily life for most of us who recognize the perils of this deadly virus (outside of those naysayers who choose to believe in political ideology rather than science, putting the rest of us in jeopardy, but I digress).
