It’s fall and snow is in the air in Summit County, Colorado

It’s fall in Summit County, but what is this snow about?
We did have a cold spell this week and received a light dusting of snow, meaning that Ski Season is right around the corner.
Have you picked up your ski pass yet? Don’t worry there is still time. Did you know you can get a ski pass for as little as $399 for the season?? Yes it is true. If you have never had a season pass, the first time you get one you do need to go in person to the designated areas and get your picture taken, then every year after that it can be renewed online. For Vail ski resorts ticket sales, or Copper Mtn. click on the links.
What is one to do if you live out of state? Well, I think it is definitely worth your while to make a trip out and take care of it, especially if you plan on just spending one week or more here during the ski season. Think about it, it would cost you $80-$90 a day if you walked up to the ticket window.
While you are at it, come and enjoy the beautiful fall we are experiencing. Yes, it has stopped snowing and the sun is back and we are expected to get up to 70 degrees by Monday.
If you are really motivated and are still considering that dream mountain property, there are still some great investments out there folks. We currently have 1932 properties available from a studio condo to a $8 million dollar compound. Contact Leah Baxter at 970-389-6367 or visit my website www.leahbaxter.com to search for properties.

Keystone, Co has huge expansion plans for the future!

lbaxter — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:11:39 +0000

The new gondola is scheduled to open on November 7, just around the corner. This gondola runs from the River Run base area and it is supposed to double the uphill capacity, which is quite impressive, since it seemed to get people up the mountain rather quickly before.

Some of the future plans for Keystone are adding a new lift from the Ski Tip area up to the east side of the mountain. There are currently cat-skiing operations in the Bergmann and Independence Bowls and this is going to be replaced with some new lifts. I’m not sure if that is a good thing, for the powder adventurist.

The Wayback chair is scheduled to be replaced and new trails are going to be formed on the front side, North Peak and the Outback.

Keystone is a great family friendly mountain as well as some extreme skiing in the outback areas. It is scheduled to open on November 7, weather permitting. We are expecting a snowstorm today!

Happy New Year – Snow, snow and more snow!

admin — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 01:08:50 +0000

Happy New Year! It is snowing and is supposed to continue to snow for the next several days. It was quite busy up here in the mountains the past two weeks and adventurous! We had record breaking temperatures, however, that did not prevent anyone from skiing or being out and about.

All of the hotels were booked and all of the condos were rented when on December 30Th, the winds began to pick up and the snow began to fall. We were all skiing that day at Copper MT. and had heard that the road (I-70) was closed. So we hung around for a couple hours and headed out. It took an hour to get to Frisco, which is normally a 5 minute drive. The traffic that was heading to Silverthorne (2 miles) took another hour and a half. Needless to say, at that point it was a complete white out and they closed I-70 and got everyone off the highway.

Several travelers ended up at the Silverthorne Rec Center, Middle School and various churches. But several also ended up in their cars for the night. We ended up with 5 people that were stranded and had a nice time.

The road did not open until 4pm New Year’s Eve and people headed down the road.

Now, the snow continues to fall and the skiing and snowshoeing and x-country trails are fabulous! I think it will be a wonderful winter. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a property to go to so you won’t be stranded on I-70?

The housing industry in Summit County is just as strong as ever. It is a wonderful place to have fun!

During the holidays and just about every Saturday, Copper MT. has fireworks and a torchlight parade and a Snowboarding exhibition. Breckenridge has a big festival coming up the Ullr Fest Jan 6-11 and it consists of a week-long

celebration of Ullr (a mythical Norse God of Snow) . There will be a Main Street Parade, live entertainment and bar series, a Nordic and ice skating event as well.

Hope to see you on the snow!
