Growth for ski resorts is still not what is was last year (near 13%) but still was able to eclipse the 6% mark, driving Facebook fan counts higher and higher. At the rate Mammoth and Whistler are climbing right now, one of them will likely hit 100,000 fans by March, unless Heavenly keeps up their growth from last month in which case they’ll hit the 100k mark by Christmas. Beaver Creek had their turn in early Fall, and now it’s Heavenly’s time to put some of their budget toward increasing fan counts, skyrocketing a whopping 83.10% during the last month. Lots of changes, lots of growth, and lots to report after the latest data pull for ski resorts on Facebook and the Top 25 list.

Also note that Facebook numbers and regional rankings for all ski resort social media dashboards are now updated as well.
