LOOKING FORWARD

January's real estate sales results have been quite strong, thanks to Mother Nature's generosity with the snowfall this season. We are having a record year which naturally helps boost interest and demand for vacation properties. We continue to meet new first-time visitors as a result of the Epic and Ikon pass products and as always, our proximity to a great international airport, the charm of historic  Main St/Old Town and our plethora of snowsport options causes many to fall in love with our community and call it home. 

Hope to see you on the slopes soon!
