Deer Valley 3/5

Yet another beautiful day at Deer Valley. This was my 32nd day out this year! That's one of every three days for the last three months! With all the snow we got in December and January, the base is deep. And the sun is out and the temps up a bit making for some great skiing.


(Guess who!)

I spent most of the day on groomers, skiing off Wasatch, Sultan, and Sterling. The snow was great, so why go anywhere else?

(Keep tips up.)

If you go, don't try the carrot cake at lunchtime -- cause once you do, you'll never be able to eat there again without getting a piece! At $5 and probably 5000 calories, it's probably not something you should have every day. But it's so good! :)

Real Estate 3/2

One of the reasons I didn't post to the blog for a while was that I've been spending a lot of time in real estate. In November 2007, I joined Keller Williams Park City Real Estate. Park City is the greatest place in the world to live so I decided to help others make it their home. :)

While the national media loves a good doomsday story -- Housing Market Tanks Nationwide -- it just isn't true. Real Estate is such a local industry that it isn't fair to make such sweeping generalizations. You wouldn't trust a national weather forecast -- why trust a national housing picture? True, the market is down in some states. But Utah didn't have the same overbuilding that happened in those places. And our job market continues to be very strong. In fact, the housing market in Utah is UP 9.3% in the last year.

And the local market in Park City is even stronger than the Utah market. Check out parkcityhousingfacts.com to get the real scoop. Then, if you're interested in buying or selling in Park City check out jefflorenzen.com. You can search the entire Park City MLS (PCMLS). No obligation. No pressure. I'd just love to help.

'til later,
Jeff

Sorry! 3/1

Hey! Sorry I've been bad about keeping this updated. I've been out skiing lots that last two months, but have been really bad about blogging. I'm back and I promise to be better!

If you haven't heard, it's been an incredible winter in Utah! So much snow! December and January were absolutely insane. Several storms that brought three feet in three days or so. In one ten-day stretch we had 90" of snow! That's 9" a day! Crazy!

The banks of snow at the end of my driveway were 10 feet tall. My snowblower hated me. (It actually quit for a time, but I got it some rehab and it's doing better.) And my road looked more like a bobsled track that a street -- one car wide with huge banks so you could barely see the houses.

It's warmed up a bit and the sun is out, but we've got so much snow that we'll be able to ski into August. Just kidding on the August part, but seriously, skiing will be great right on through closing weekend. If you haven't made it out to Utah yet, there's still time. Deer Valley is open through April 13 and the Cottonwood resorts will be open later than that.

Here are some of my pics from the last two months. Thanks to all my skiing friends for some great days.

Cheers! Enjoy the snow and tune in often.
