Home Prices increase finally!

Great News!
Home prices are increasing - finally!
Even though many areas have seen increased sales volume, most have not experienced price increases. Park City Utah has super low inventory - less than 400 single family homes and less than 400 condos on the market right now. However, the typical reaction to low inventory of price increases have been slower than what we saw in the boom time.

The article below discusses the beginning of price increases in major cities.

Park City Mountain Opening Day

It was awesome! We got about 6-12 inches last night, so we knew it would be ok. We didn't expect to have so much fun. Yes, I should have been holding an open house or 2, but I couldn't resist. Only 2 runs open, but plenty of fun.

If you had a residence here in Park City, you could have been here today too! Contact me for some excellent property deals!

Octoberfest and beautiful fall color at Snowbird

Today was a fall color capturing day and some great fun at Snowbird's Octoberfest. Great fun - We toured the market place, ate some great bratwurst and enjoyed the gorgeous fall color.
See the short video below for the Alpenhorn concert at the top of the Tram. Very cool.

Octoberfest was busy today! The picture below was taken from the Chicadee lift.

Pic looking toward the Salt Lake valley from top of Snowbird.

The most exciting part of the day was not caught on film...when I went head over bull on the mechanical bull ride! I have heard a rumor that there is a video out there somewhere...

Beautiful valley on the way to Midway via Brighton.



The Canyons and Solitude to connect via Tram

Breaking news! The Canyons and Solitude will connect via tram in the future. The two resorts will be the first to cross the divide between the Wasatch front and the Wasatch back. More details to follow in the coming weeks.

The 2 resorts would have a reciprocal lift ticket agreement. One big benefit is the reduced traffic congestion for Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Park City ski home with Spectacular views!

Does your company need a corporate retreat? A ski propety to send your best employees as a reward?
This could be the home for you. I bet as a corporate retreat there are some write-offs there for you too.

How's that for a view? Pretty spectacular. You are seeing the Canyons directly and Park City Mountain to the left. This picture was taken a few days ago after a fresh dusting of snow. This ski home has 5 traditional bedrooms, 2 of those have loft areas for playing or additional beds, and one huge room that could be a bunk room ( bet you could put 4-5 sets of bunk beds in there) or a home theatre instead of a bedroom. It's that big.
Don't you want to take care of your employees and have a place to take your family also?
Offered at $1,395,000

Park City to host 2011 FIS Freestyle ski event!

This is the type of fun we all live for here in Park City. We get to watch greatness and history in the making.

The world’s most prestigious freeski athletic competition outside of the Olympics will be held at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort February 2 – 5, 2011, when the FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships comes to town.







•Park City Mountain Resort will host competitions in slopestyle and halfpipe.


•Deer Valley Resort will host competitions in moguls, dual moguls, aerials and ski cross.






The slopestyle competition was recently added to the event line up following an announcement giving support for 2014 Winter Games inclusion by the International Olympic Committee in September (Slopestyle skiing, halfpipe skiing and slopestyle snowboarding are all being considered for the 2014 Winter Games).

In November, the FIS voted to add slopestyle skiing and slopestyle snowboarding to the respective World Championship events. The final approval by the International Olympic Committee for skiing events to be added to the 2014 Winter Games will come following a review of the World Championship events held this February at Park City Mountain Resort.

Skiing at Park City Mountain yesterday

Park City Mountain may not have any new fancy lifts or a new gondola, but they have spruced up the place a bit and added some fun to the mountain. This picture ( however bad it is) was taken of a new trail marker off of Mc Conkey's lift. It has been a kid's favorite for a long time. It sends them through a quick moving run through the trees. It's bumpy, fast and fun! Warning - adults, don't try this run. I've done it before and it is so tight and the turns are so quick that our big skis can't do it as easily as the kids can.

These funky ski decorations are scattered throughout the mountain. I think I will start a collection of pictures with my son next to each of them.
