ABSTRACT This study examines visitation patterns of alpine skiers who possess various types of ski passes, based on a data set consisting of the number of daily visitors at a Norwegian ski resort from 2008/2009 to 2011/2012. The results show that some of the variations in visitation patterns can be explained by day of the week, holidays and weather conditions. These factors have different effects across types of ski pass (one-day-, multi-day-, and season pass) and across time periods during the winter season. It is also found that day of the week, holidays, opening hours, and weather conditions significantly influence the average number of trips one skier make during a skiing day.
