Resorts might just have to get creative to ensure that they are turning a profit in the winter months. There is an infinite number of solutions which revolve around good marketing. Promotions galore, get more people snowboarding, work with partners such as travel agents and snowboarding clubs, etc. If profits are falling, then the resorts need to react and then preact for the future.

If it's a skier only resort, maybe. But snowboarders are coming in droves and the snowboard industry/population is growing as a whole, so I don't think they'll be in too much trouble. The less crowds, the better as far as I'm concerned. But of course I'd hate to see any of the resorts close. Every year I get up to Whistler it seems busier and busier.
