Facebook Top 25 Update-Mar 2011
Gregg Blanchard /
Want to boost your fan count? Stir up some controversy. Or so it seems. In a month where the average growth was only 4.5%, Squaw Valley, reeling (and recovering) from a barrage of Facebook frustration, came away with the highest growth percentage of 8.25. After all, you can’t “like” a friend’s post to support them or post some frustration of your own without being a fan first. Not a strategy I would advise, but interesting none the less. I would have liked to see Sunshine’s Village numbers right before their page disappeared.
Here’s all the details of the Facebook Top 25 Ski Resorts update:
New & Notable
- Down from 10.23% in January and 7.67% in February, fan growth was the lowest its been since September of last year at 4.56%.
- The number of total fans gained by the top 25 was 26,656
- For the first time since this list began, we have a tie: Hunter Mountain & Winter Park both had 14,448 (although Hunter Mountain might be in the lead by now) at the time of writing.
- The average number of fans for a March Top 25 page is 26,282

- Copper Mountain (7.08%)
- Wachusett (6.98%)

- Aspen Snowmass (5.82%)
- Hunter Mountain (5.12%)
All the Changes
- Northstar at Tahoe (+4)
- Copper Mountain (+2)
- Jackson Hole (+1)
- Keystone (-1)
- Loveland (-1)
