Analysis
NAICS 71392 is the 2022 NAICS industry for skiing facilities, part of 7139 (Other Amusement and Recreation Industries).
It has only one more detailed code, 713920, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 348 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 74,471 people at an average annual payroll of $19,110 per employee (1st percentile of national industries). 13% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 6th of the 6 codes at this level within Other Amusement and Recreation Industries, with 0.4% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 3% and employment rose 7%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
