Abstract: Using a two-sector model of congestion, I explain theoretically how lower travel costs and increased consumer income over time resulted in endogenous investment in quality and higher real prices at both national and local ski resorts despite limited market entry. I also provide empirical evidence for the US ski industry in support of the implications of the model.
