The News
Park City: Park City’s innovative “My Pass, My Way” ski passes are now on sale for the 2011/2012 season. The passes offer options for different price points and could be a trend setter for similar pass options from other resorts. For second home owners, particularly fractional owners, who might not be able to ski enough to justify a traditional, full-season/every day pass, season pass options should be highly attractive.
Sundance: Many property prices at ski resorts have dropped precipitiously, but Sundance may be the exception. There were originally nine lots in the Ridge Lots at Sundance Preserve. Seven have sold, and the two that remain are priced at $1,975,000.
