I’ll keep it short and sweet today. If you haven’t taken off for Christmas yet, you’re probably not looking for more stuff to read/cross off your list before you do. Even though numbers are now updated daily on the resort social dashboards, I still think a monthly checkup of the “state of the industry” is probably a good idea for each of the social sites I’m tracking.

This time it’s YouTube’s turn to be in the spotlight. With a few new metrics I’m tracking, here are ten insights into what ski resorts are doing on YouTube.

About Gregg & SlopeFillers
I've had more first-time visitors lately, so adding a quick "about" section. I started SlopeFillers in 2010 with the simple goal of sharing great resort marketing strategies. Today I run marketing for resort ecommerce and CRM provider Inntopia, my home mountain is the lovely Nordic Valley, and my favorite marketing campaign remains the Ski Utah TV show that sold me on skiing as a kid in the 90s.
