Kanadier boykottieren US-Skipisten

*From Bloomberg News Reporter Charles Gorrivan:*

At US ski resorts from Montana to Maine, lodging and resort companies are rolling out the hospitality for their northern visitors — marketing steep on bookings, accepting the weaker loonie on par with the dollar and translating more messaging into French — in hopes that travelers from Canada, long the biggest source of international visitors to the US, will put aside their hard feelings toward President Donald Trump and return to the country’s snow parks.

According to a survey of Canadian travel agency owners and managers conducted at the end of 2025 by *Travel Weekly* and market researcher Phocuswright, 78% said their gross bookings to the US were down from the same period a year earlier. As of Jan. 22, Canadian bookings to American resorts for winter arrival were down about 41%, compared to just a 5% drop among US customers, according to industry tracker Inntopia.

“Canadians are affronted by what feels like a betrayal by a longtime friend,” says Tom Foley, Inntopia’s director of business intelligence. In fact, Inntopia data show Canadian-made bookings tend to drop within 48 hours of any new controversial geopolitical statement by Trump. “They’re upset—and they are digging in.”

East coast skiing is barely worth its cost in money let alone a trip to the gulag or getting murdered, and Canada’s western resorts a better even controlling for rampant US fascism. No shit Canadians aren’t in a rush to US ski slopes.
