The Greatest Snow on Earth

Snow, snow and more snow! Finally the snow gods have smiled upon us and we have received several feet of the Greatest Snow on Earth. Yesterday was a bluebird day with about a foot of fresh snow, and today it is once again snowing. Visitors to Park City, Deer Valley will be talking about this week of skiing for a long time.

I had the distinct pleasure of taking some clients skiing to Alta Resort last Friday for an Alta Powder experience. We had received several feet of snow prior to Friday and hit Alta during a classic Utah storm. It snowed all day at the rate of several inches an hour and we were able to ski Utah fluff all day.

Alta deserves its reputation as the powder capital of the world. Because of its unique location at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon and southeast of the Great Salt Lake storms sweep across the lake, picking up moisture, are funneled up Little Cottonwood Canyon and are forced up and over the crest of the Wasatch, dropping their moisture in copious amounts of Utah powder. A day of powder skiing at Alta is a MUST for all serious skiers. Alta is an easy hour’s drive from the wonderful historic town of Park City, with all of its restaurants, clubs, and activities. Park City/Deer Valley makes a perfect home base to travel to the many terrific resorts around Salt Lake City.

In real estate, the exciting news is that the Arrowleaf condominiums in the Empire Pass Village of Deer Valley are completed, and owners are taking occupancy of and enjoying their beautiful new ski-in/ski-out condos. Located near the base of the Silver Strike Lift, Arrowleaf offers convenient ski access, beautiful views, and access to the members-only Tower Club lounge. The Tower Club features direct ski access, a beautiful lounge for breakfast, lunch, or après ski, a weight/fitness room and an outdoor hot tub. Members of the Talisker Club have found this to be the perfect gathering spot to talk about their day of skiing at Deer Valley.

There are many exciting real estate possibilities in the new developments in and around town as well as some excellent buys on existing homes and condos. As the prices of real estate continue to rise in Park City, most owners have remodeled and updated their condos and homes to the standards expected by our visitors. For more information on what is available, what I would consider to be a good investment, or the new developments, contact me or call on my cell anytime at 435-640-5851.
