The economic im pact of downhill
skiing continues to grow as an im por
tant part of Oregon's tourism in
dustry. a U niversity of Oregon study
shows
During the 1986-87 season, ski ac
tivities accounted for nearly 11 per
cent of total state tourism revenue.
$141 m illion out of $1 2 billion, the
survey found
"Despite a small reduction in the
number of skier visits since the
1984-65 season, revenue increased in
the 1966-87 season by more than 15
p e r c e n t,”
r e s e a rc h e r Ja m e s
Iaw rence said
The project, directed by David
Povey, a professor in the dpeartrnent
of planning, p ub lic p o licy and
management, is the second in a
series of biennial reports commis
sioned by the Oregon Ski Operators
Association
In addition to I.awrence. the
research team included two other
graduate students in urban and
regional planning, Robert Parker
and Matt Malone
The only other state to conduct
such a study is Colorado, Povey said
The reports mark the firs t tim e in
form ation has been collected for the
entire Oregon ski industry This
year's study surveyed eight ski
areas Mount Hood Meadows and
Tim berline in the Portland area;
Mount Bachelor, Hoodoo Ski Bowl,
W illam ette Pass and Mount Ashland
in the Central-Southern area; and
Anthony la k e s and Spout Springs in
Eastern Oregon
The project also collected data on
ski shops, ski area suppliers, support
services such as restaurants and
lodging fa cilities, ski area employees
and government agencies dealing
with public policy or law enforce
ment
Ski-related employment grew by
21.1 percent during the same period
A 1.2 percent decline in skier visits,
from 1.43 m illion to 1 418 m illion, was
due in part to the one-year closure of
M irro r Mountain in the Portland
area
Of the total $141 nullion in ski
revenue, the biggest portion was
reported by ski shops, about $50
m illion, or 36 percent Lodging, food
services, transportation, entertain
ment and related services accounted
for about $44 m illion, or 31 percent
The ski areas themselves took in
about $.'H m illion, or 24 percent Sup
pliers and government agencies ac
count for the remaining $13 nullion
Each ski region in the state shows a
sim ila r pattern of high and low skier
visits over the past eight years,
which us largely a reflection of snow
conditions, the report says. The
overall increase in skier visits during
that period fits the national surge in
interest in skiing that began in the
1970s
The eight ski regions vary con
siderably in share of the market,
from Mount Bachelor with 44 5 per
cent to Spout Springs with 1 percent
"The main reason for the greater
im p act in the C entral-Southern
region is the larger number of
destination resort facilities serving
Mount Bachelor,” the report says
"The estimated gross revenue in
off-mountain support services in this
region is more than nine times
greater than that in the Portland
area "
What does this really mean for the
future of Oregon's ski industry ?
Povey said the number of skier
visits has increased an average of .9
percent annually during the past five
years but 2.3 percent annually in the
past 10 years
Even at the lower growth rate and
not adjusting for inflation, skiing
would generate $156 m illion in 1991-92
and nearly $172 m illion by 1996-97,
which could mean a bigger share of
the national ski industry for Oregon,
