Park City Mountain Resort offering discounted lift tickets to Deer Valley and Canyons passholders

Now that is smart! All of these poor people that spent the big buck on season passes for Deer Valley and The Canyons are in luck! Park City Mountain is offering them a way to ski today and for cheaper than normal so they don't feel so left out. (Maybe next year they will buy a PCMR pass!)

Lots of Snow in Park City Utah today

WOW and double Wow! Park City Snow today. As of about 4pm yesterday, not much snow was sticking to the ground. Well, let me tell you this - it started snowing and it has hardly stopped. Last night was a white out, we could only see where we were going by looking a the reflective freeway markers on the side of the road. Same thing off and on today. Check out the furniture on the deck of my 950 Lowell listing. Had to dig my way in. The front steps had been shoveled much earlier in the day and the rear deck was about 2 feet deep in snow. The Park City Mountain parking lot was pretty full too.

Almost looks like a big fluffy cake

More snow to come. At least 2 more storms and another 36"!!!!

Hyatt comes to The Canyons in Park City

I was hanging at Maxwell's a few weeks ago with a client after an afternoon of house hunting. We ran into her loan officer and a group of friends eating and drinking at the bar. Turns out I was introduced to the new General Manager of the Hyatt property here in Park City. Claudia hails from Germany originally and most recently the Hyatt property in Maui. I hope she will like it here. She said she has already purchased some snow boots to replace her open toe shoes.

Rumor has it the Hyatt is vying for another property at the Canyons before the ski season is through.....

What message is your FOR SALE sign sending part 2

As you may have read in part 1 of this subject, "Price Reduced" riders on a For Sale sign can send the wrong message to potential buyers. Ok, that being said, what about a "Sale Pending" sign rider?

Does it tell a potential buyer to drive on by and not even consider your home? What if the sale fails? Not so unusual these days with financing tough to come by.

Potential buyers may have dismissed this home and may not come back. Nobody likes to fall in love with a home they ultimately cannot have. The opportunity is lost. Others may be thrilled it is available again, but will they wonder what happened? Will they believe what the listing agent tells them about why it fell out or will they wonder if there was a problem with the home?

Any thoughts?

The Canyons gondola and Heated chair lift progress

Quick update today... The Canyons gondola tower is in place! No sign of the heated Orange Bubble lift yet, although I was told it will originate from the exact point where the gondola used to be - right near the Grand Summit Hotel. The pictures may look a bit fuzzy - it was snowing and the wind was blowing.

 With all of the improvements happening at The Canyons, now is a great time to grab a ski condo at Silverado, Red Pine, Hidden Creek, Escala or the Waldorf Astoria before everyone else figures out what a great resort this is.

The Canyons improvements will be ready for opening day!

Great News! It appears the improvements at The Canyons will be ready in time for opening day. See the  link to the Parkrecord article below featuring a press conference with Todd Burnette, VP of Marketing at The Canyons.

Looks like the new heated lift , Orange Bubble Express will have 2 drop spots - the first appears to drop near Lookout Cabin, the second up near Sun Peak Express lift.  I wonder if they have plans for nighttime and summer dining at Lookout Cabin? I would go. Food is great, the view off the outdoor deck is to die for - a great deck for summer weddings and parties.

For all of you that have skied the right side of The Canyons - Upper Boa, Kestrel, Rendevous Ridge or if you take the runs off of Doc's - Thunder Road, Diablo, Badlands- (some of my faves), the problem always was getting to the base from there. It appears they have not yet solved this.

You get to the bottom and have to take a rope tow ( indicated on the map as a surface lift) then hoof it to the base of the gondola. The rope tow is still showing - it is called Rip Cord on the map. I have called it many things, but never Rip Cord! We can only hope they have altered the terrain to eliminate the uphill walk. Now that the gondola has moved, we may be able to ski once we leave the rope tow. Check back for updates!
