February 2008

February begins the real ski season in Park City. After the Christmas rush, January tends to be fairly quiet (other than during Sundance) and from the first of February through the end of the season we are very busy. This year it seems that is has been snowing at least five days every week which makes for incredible skiing and very happy guests. It seems like at least twice a week we hear the comment that “This is the best day of the year.”

The Presidents Week holiday, starting in the middle of the month is at least as busy or busier than Christmas. From then on, with school holidays continuing through March, the areas are busy and the town is full. Condo owners in town will be thrilled with the revenue that they are receiving this year. The word is out that Utah has the best snow in the country and the best snow that we have had in many years and visitors are booking vacations here. With three out of the last four years being excellent ski years Utah has the reputation that one can book a vacation here and be confident of excellent skiing. This translates to excellent rental revenues for owners and sellers find that their properties are in demand and therefore prices stay strong.
