Impact of Weather on Downhill Ski Lift Ticket Sales [Summary]
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of daily weather variations on daily ski lift ticket sales at two Michigan ski resorts appeared to be the first of their kind, and the regression models developed could be used by outdoor recreation and tourism providers for both short-term decision making and longer-term planning and management activities, in particular those involving consideration of climate change and potential adaptation strategies.

The physiological equivalent temperature - a universal index for the biometeorological assessment of the thermal environment.
TL;DR: The physiological equivalent temperature (PET) is defined as the air temperature at which the heat budget of the human body is balanced with the same core and skin temperature under the complex outdoor conditions to be assessed, and enables a layperson to compare the integral effects of complex thermal conditions outside with his or her own experience indoors.

The tourism climatic index: a method of evaluating world climates for tourism
TL;DR: In this article, a method of computing tourism climatic indices (TCIS) is described and a series of rating systems is developed to provide a systematic basis for assessing the climatic elements that most affect the quality of the tour-ism experience.
