resort: FUN IN THE SCHWEITZER SUN!
- 01/15/09 10:39 AM
I know it gets repetitive, but ...SCHWEITZER MOUNTAIN RESORT was absolutely over the top today! I left a very cloudy Sandpoint and headed up to the mountain (hidden in the clouds) at noon. Half way up the pass I broke through the cloud layer and burst into the indigo blue skies of Schweitzer Mountain Resort.
These are the magic days that brought me here in the first place and I was not disappointed. Skiing the front (South Bowl) was perfect but the best was still ahead. We ventured to the back Bowls and found ourselves in a mystical paradise. … (3 comments)
resort: BUY INTO THE SKI LIFE!
- 01/01/09 08:46 AM
Wow! Epic day today! We hit the slopes at mid morning after enjoying a cafe mocha at the "on-slope" coffee shop...(just enjoying life - no worries). The first run was a cruiser. Easy GS turns through 7-12" of fresh powder...we needed to get our ski legs under us before we tackled tougher terrain. It was snowing hard (1" per hour) so there were some adjustments to be made. We made it succesfully down to the Great Escape high speed chair (virtually no line as per usual at Schweitzer) and proceeded to the peak. The high winds and fog were a test, but … (6 comments)
resort: condoMAXiums - wave of the future
- 12/31/08 12:21 PM
According to the National Association of Homebuilders, the average single-family home is 2,456 square feet. However, developers have noticed buyers are looking for the same amount of square feet when buying a condominium. I like the term "CONODMAXIUMS". Selling condos at Schweitzer Mountain, I have become sensitive to the sq. footage of the units. Most of the NEW projects on the mountain fall more into the condoMAXium category. There is no substitute for space. It's like the old adage in basketball..."you can't coach size". Because of the additional square footage buyers are asking for, the average priced condo is rising which is also creating … (0 comments)
resort: Home Sales WILL increase...and soon!
- 12/28/08 04:07 PM
Basically, I am an optimist that has fallen into a bit of a trough. 2009 looks bleak and Peter Schiff, who predicted this whole mess years ago, is predicting a continuation of our woes. The guy has been phenominally accurate. There are some realities, however, that give me hope. ...More than half of the owners of the top 350 firms nationwide are aged 55 and older. If they haven’t started already, these owners will soon be looking for ways to cash out of their businesses and set up their retirement. These are qualified, experienced home-buyers who already understand a great deal … (12 comments)
resort: How can you pass up Schweitzer's values?
- 12/23/08 04:38 PM
I've had the good fortune to ski at many of the great ski areas of the world. All mountains are great when the weather cooperates...you just can't beat the Rockies. When I came to Sandpoint from Aspen, however, I was in awe. ...the powder, the view, the people...the lifestyle. This area cannot be beat. Furthermore, the real estate values are unbelievable. It is hard for me to believe that a serious "mountain-life" buyer could come to Sandpoint/Schweitzer and leave without a strong desire to invest here. Any potential buyer who cannot see this just is not the real deal. ...especially with … (5 comments)
