Abstract

Key Messages Spatial patterns of skiers may vary as a result of snow conditions. This study examined where and how far skiers in Ontario (Canada) are willing to travel in response to local lack of snow. Majority of respondents (59–60%) would travel to five key resorts in Ontario; an additional 11–15% of respondents opted to travel to Quebec or the state of New York.
