The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Winter Recreation Small Business Recovery Act of 2025, is to update the definition of what constitutes a disaster under the Small Business Act. Specifically, it aims to include situations of low or no snowfall, which can significantly impact businesses that rely on winter weather, such as ski resorts and other winter recreation providers. Key provisions of the Act include the formal addition of "snow drought" to the list of disasters recognized by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
