  As 
  might 
  be 
  expected, 
  skiers 
  with 
  high 
  family 
  incomes 
  are 
  more 
  prone 
  to 
  take 
  

   vacation 
  and 
  weekend 
  trips 
  and 
  to 
  spend 
  more 
  freely 
  on 
  such 
  trips. 
  Eighty 
  percent 
  of 
  

   skiers 
  with 
  family 
  incomes 
  of 
  $25,000 
  and 
  over 
  a 
  year 
  take 
  overnight 
  ski 
  trips. 
  On 
  

   the 
  other 
  hand, 
  only 
  about 
  50 
  percent 
  of 
  those 
  with 
  an 
  annual 
  family 
  income 
  of 
  less 
  

   than 
  $6,500 
  take 
  such 
  trips. 
  Moreover, 
  the 
  skiers 
  from 
  moderate 
  income 
  families 
  

   spend 
  less 
  than 
  $40 
  a 
  day 
  on 
  vacation 
  trips- 
  -about 
  one-half 
  the 
  expenditures 
  of 
  those 
  

   with 
  incomes 
  of 
  $25,000 
  and 
  over. 
  

  

  The 
  total 
  number 
  of 
  days 
  a 
  person 
  skies 
  each 
  year, 
  oddly 
  enough, 
  is 
  not 
  strongly 
  

   influenced 
  by 
  income, 
  as 
  shown
