Skiing conditions are much better than you might think!
This sure has been a tough start for the year for all the western US ski resorts. We have been experiencing one of the slowest starts to the winter season that any of us can remember. It is especially in sharp contrast to what we enjoyed last year as one of our biggest snow years ever. If you were in Utah last year you know what I am talking about!
Normally by this time of the winter we have already had quite a few epic powder days, but this year has not been like that. We have had enough snow to be open, and with snow making capabilities the resorts have been able to get many runs open. Deer Valley and Park City have impressive abilities to create snow when mother nature does not deliver. You
A VERY unique aspect of the Park City Ski Resorts is the fact that you can fly into the Salt Lake City International Airport in the morning, and be skiing the same day!

INFO THAT HITS US WHERE WE LIVE...The housing recovery may be proceeding slowly, but things are definitely not at a standstill. Earlier this year, an industry rent vs. buy index found it is more affordable to buy than rent a two-bedroom home in 72% of America's 50 biggest cities. In fact, renting was less expensive than buying only in New York, Kansas City, San Francisco and Seattle. And in 10 of the cities where renting was relatively affordable versus ownership, people felt buying may still be a financially sound long-term decision.
A recent consumer study showed people are getting the message. With home prices now at such affordable levels, 62% of those surveyed said buying in today's market is a good investment over the next 10 years. The most popular
For the 2nd year in a row, Utah Tops Forbes list for "Best State for Business and Careers". This was their sixth annual look at the business climate of the 50 US States. Utah was the only state to rank among the top 15 states in each of the six main categories they rate states on. No one can match Utah's consistent performance.
They talked about Utah's highlights of energy costs at 31% below the national average, and employment growth that has averaged 0.6% the last five years, vs the national average of negative 0.6%.
Businesses are taking notice. Proctor & Gamble, ITT, Home Depot, and Boeing all announced expansions in Utah. The Goldman Sachs office in Salt lake City is the second largest in America, with more expansion planned over the next 4 years. Tech
Last Thursday and Friday was the 10th Annual Park City Turkey Drive. As of Friday night when the truck pulled away, the Park City Realtor volunteers had collected 1,778 turkeys. Over the weekend, they received additional donations and were able to purchase additional turkeys thereby pushing their overall collection in excess of 1,800 turkeys and hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food items. On a local level the Turkey Drive provided 400 birds to the Park City Food Pantry located on Munchkin Road, several turkeys to the Community Center in Kamas and the remaining birds along with hundred pounds of non-perishable food items were delivered to the Utah Food Bank for distribution statewide. The Park City Turkey Drive has earned the distinct recognition of
The U.S. House and Senate yesterday restored FHA loan limits to the level they were at before they were allowed to expire at the end of September. As a result, the limits will rise to 125 percent of the area median home price from 115 Percent, up to a maximum $729,750, from $625,500. NAR estimates that several hundred counties where FHA loan limits fell at the end of September will now rise back up to the previous level.
“The reinstated loan limits will help provide much needed liquidity and stability to communities nationwide as tight credit restrictions continue to prevent some qualified buyers from becoming home owners and the housing market recovery remains fragile,” said NAR President Moe Veissi in a statement released last night.
