It was a standout year for skiing across the western U.S. According to the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), resorts nationwide recorded the second-highest number of ski visits on record. In the Rocky Mountain region, it was the third busiest season since visitor tracking began in 1978. So far, skiers and snowboarders have hit the slopes 61.5 million times this year, just shy of the record hit during the 2022-2023 season.

While barbed wire fences are a more common sight in the Mountain West, virtual fences have cropped up in the last few years.

Roughly 15,000 commercial guides and outfitters draw permits to lead hiking, climbing, horseback riding and rafting adventures on public lands and waters. But many of these businesses are struggling to plan for the year ahead as federal agencies lose key staff. “There's a reason that national parks are designated,” saidBen Coryell, a co-owner of Golden Mountain Guides.
