Construction Use Tax
Use Tax collections through April 26 total $476,250 compared to $1,213,371 from

Lift tax collections for the 2021/22 ski season through March 31 total $5,407,950

Season to date:

from prior winter season. Parking pass sales are down $(406,442) or (23.0)% from
the 2019/20 season. The majority of the decrease in pass sales is due to fewer
purchases of blue passes.

approximately $6,185,768, up $981,923, or 18.9% from this time last year. Daily
sales are up $2,647,035 or 74.8% from this time in the 2019/20 season. Paid

Summary
Across all funds, year-to-date total revenue of $37.0 million is up 9.3% from the
amended budget and up 25.3% from prior year, mainly due to an increase in sales
tax collections. Excluding the new 0.5% housing fund sales tax, total revenue is up
18.4% compared to prior year. The positive variance from budget is due to higher
than anticipated sales tax, lift tax, real estate transfer tax, and paid parking
revenues.
