Ski resorts in the United States are seeing a decline in visits from Canadian skiers this winter as many boycott U.S. tourism to show opposition to President Donald Trumps threats to impose tariffs and make Canada the 51st state, according to recent reports.
Steve Wright, the president and general manager of Jay Peak Resort one of the largest ski resorts in Vermont- told members of Congress they were anticipating large declines in Canadian visits after he noticed fewer northern neighbors were renewing their season passes.
After I called nearly 100 Canadian households
they cite the present administrations flagrant disrespect of Canadian independence as not only a challenge to Canadian sovereignty but to their own identity and they feel the need to respond, Wright said. As of December, bookings from Canadians were down 10 to 15 percent.
Josh Reed, the communications manager at Killington Resorts, told Bloomberg that theres a lot of anger from Canadians toward the U.S. He claimed that some Canadian visitors have felt ostracized by friends for visiting the states. But its not just ski resorts, border towns in Montana and other U.S. states that typically see a high volume of tourism from Canada, say this past years visits declined significantly.

(2,307 posts)It is obvious that Canadians are not visiting the US.
Traffic is down 31% at this crossing alone.
And it has been a consistent drop since Feb '25
I don't blame them..
And Elise Stefanik is doing nothing.
She screamed that Biden should open the border during COVID.
But she is saying nothing now. She is such a sniveling, little coward.
