real estate: Final ski tip for the season, finish your turns for speed control.
- 04/04/12 07:12 AM
In my 22 years as a member of the Professional Ski and Snowboard Instructors Association of America, one thing I noticed is how many skiers could make a few pretty good turns then slowly pick up speed and finally either having to come to a stop or even worse, well, I won't go there.

So, then I get to explain that in the course of making that next turn, the skis are pointing downhill again, picking up even more speed and that they … (0 comments)
I must congratulate Vail Resorts for their truly amazing work considering this was a lean snow year. Their snowmaking crews and especially the groomers did a fantastic job "Snow Farming" in Vail and Beaver Creek this past winter. Our resort owners and guests could not beleive how good the ski experience was. with less than 2 weks remaining, Vail is still hopping and there are lots of special events. Additionally real estate had a great comeback with resort property sales up more than 100% as compared to a year ago. Prices remain at 2003 stats and even lower in … (0 comments)

real estate: Snow comes to Vail!
- 01/19/12 10:55 AM
We in the ski resorts know how every flake of snow received this year has been "white gold" It was amazing that during the holidays, Vail visitors and resort owners alike were impressed of the quality of snow considering that lack of it early. Huge kudo's must be given to the snowmaking and grooming crews at Vail and beaver Creek. The good news is that in the past few weeks, we have received more that 2 feet and more snow is in the forcast.

From the Vail Daily. BEAVER CREEK — Somewhere Charlie Brown is smiling.Virtuoso pianist George Winston takes music you know, like Vince Guaraldi's work with the Charlie Brown episodes and makes it his.Let's say he Winstonized it.It often does no good to fiddle with an original composition. Can anyone hear “A Fifth of Beethoven” without becoming physically ill?But then, by George, Guaraldi's Charlie Brown music is Winstonized and it makes you say, “Yeah, that works.”Winston plays Thursday night in Beaver Creek at the Vilar Performing Arts Center. It's a delightful way to spend an evening, and it's also a benefit for the … (1 comments)
