AirDNA’s Fact of the Week:

The EPIC record snowfall has allowed extended seasons for several ski destinations including Mammoth Lakes (Mammoth Mountain), Sawtooth Mountain (Sun Valley), and Park City, Utah. April demand is pacing more than 30% higher than this time last year in each of these areas and is over 70% higher in Mammoth Lakes, where snow has been so abundant that the resort is currently expected to stay open until July, potentially contributing to demand in the Mammoth Lakes market for several more months.

AirDNA’s Fact of the Week:

Supply Growth continues to be a hot topic as host & operators prepare for peak season travel.

In March 2023, there were 1.34 million available short-term rental listings, a 19.9% increase from last year. This compares to a peak increase of 25% last summer. Out of the 50 largest STR markets, the Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ market leads the country for growth, increasing supply by more than 66% YoY, followed by Los Angeles, CA with a 37% increase.

Around the country, there are only 12 markets with declining supply, 3 of which include Colorado ski towns, Aspen (-6%), Steamboat Springs (-9%), and Telluride (-10%).
