Presidents Week in Deer Valley

We are in the middle of Presidents Week in Deer Valley. And while busy, it feels a little slower than normal. Some of this may be attributed to the stormy weather that we have been receiving. We have received between 3-4 feet of snow since Saturday with a couple of sunny day breaks in between. Skiing is incredible. I went out both yesterday and today and when I came back yesterday I announced that it was “the best day of the year”. However, I was wrong. Today is the best day of the year. We woke up yesterday morning to a foot of new snow and then received another foot during the day yesterday and this morning. Some of the resorts here in the Wasatch received over 2 feet of snow yesterday for a storm total of over 3 feet. With 2-3 feet of new snow over the last 48 hours, you can only imagine what the skiing is like. The powder was knee deep here at Deer Valley today and as I classify it, “soft on soft”. What I mean by this is when new snow falls over freshly fallen snow you do not feet the harder snow down deep. All you are skiing on is soft, creamy powder.
As is expected, inquiries into real estate have picked up this week. But not as much as in past years. Buyers are here and they are looking. But no one seems to be in any hurry. Everyone is hoping that the efforts of our new President and government will install some confidence that things will turn around in the near future. Time will tell. In the meantime, come out and ski and enjoy an incredible time here in Park City. The long range forecast is for regular storms through the middle of March.
