NSSRA Cost of Doing Business Survey
The biennial NSSRA Cost of Doing Business Survey provides ski and snowboard shops with key profitablity, productivity and financial performance indicators as well as balance sheets and income statements for nine types of winter sports retailers. The information provides members with benchmarks to pinpoint strengths, weaknesses and improvement opportunities.

This survey is available at no cost to NSSRA members.

Snow Sports Participation Report
NSSRA has prepared a special snow sports participation study based on the Sports Participation in 2010 Report, published by the National Sporting Goods Association.

Sports Participation in 2010: Snow Sports provides data on total 2010 participation, frequency of participation, and average number of participation days. Single-time participation, which is not counted in the total, is included separately. Correlation tables relate each snow sports activity to every other activity in this survey. This allows you, for example, to look at the number of skiers who also snowboard and vice versa.

The three activities in this special report are: alpine skiing, cross country skiing and snowboarding.

Demographic data on participants include gender, age, gender by age, household income and education of male and female head of household. The geographic analysis includes nine census regions and participation data by metro area size. Presence of children is also noted.

State-by-state data is included for all winter sports.
