German term or phrase: Ersteintritte
Insgesamt wurden xxx Karten verkäuft und xxx ***Ersteintritte*** erzielt.

and here again:

40 % der Gäste sind Wochengäste mit Karten für 5 und 6 Tage. Dieser Bereich stellt ca. 50% der ***Ersteintritte*** dar.

The ski area is interconnected with other ski areas and I think by "Ersteintritte" they mean the first "point of contact" as it were with the whole ski area, i.e. where the skier uses his/her ski pass for the first time that day.

first-time visits


Explanation:
Hard to say for sure without seeing the rest of the text, but
I'd understand as those visiting the ski area for the first time. I'd probably paraphrase and use a verbal construction in the first example:

A total of xxx lift passes were sold, xxx to people visiting the area for the first time.

and

This area accounts for around 50% of first-time visits.

Fair enough - as I said it's hard to see what's going on when you haven't got the whole text in front of you!

Asker: No - that's definitely not what it's about. It means the village/ski area where you first enter the larger interconnected ski area.

Explanation:
I have no previous knowledge of this, but here are some definitions I found when doing a quick search.

Definition:
Skier day = Ersteintritt (Gast, der seine Fahrkarte das erste Mal an einem Tag benutzt, ist für den Betrieb dieses Schneesportgebietes ein Ersteintritt)
Kunden = Ersteintritte + Wechselgäste (die von einem Schneesportgebiet eines Betriebes in dem sie Ersteintritt sind in ein anderes Gebiet wechseln)

Skierdays
Unter Skier Days (Ersteintritte) versteht man die international einheitliche Messung der Leistung von Seilbahnen. Ein Skier day beschreibt die Anzahl an Personen, die an einem Tag eine Aufstiegshilfe in Anspruch nehmen, ohne Bedeutung wie oft diese benutzt wird.
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:aUNgeTu...

skier day (plural skier days)
1. (skiing) A day of skiing purchased in a ski area, used to measure the number of skiers in any one particular ski area. A season pass is generally considered to be twenty (20) skier days.
