Abstract:
Tourism has always been popular in the state's mountains, and it dates back to pre-Civil War days. Now skiing has added a new dimension to it, and the tourist season is a year-round activity. Currently there are ten ski resorts in the mountain counties. Although the new activity has affected some local economies, such as new construction and restaurants and stores staying open almost year round, skiing hasn't been a big lift everywhere.
