The winter season is off to a fantastic start with natural snowfall of about 200 inches and a base close to 100 inches at both Powder Mountain and Snowbasin! The tardiness of this Market Update is a result of the fact that, in the last 3+ weeks, conditions for snowboarding and skiing have been epic. As I speak to folks on the lifts/gondolas, it is clear that ever increasing numbers of visitors are finding their way to the upper Ogden Valley, having a wonderful time enjoying winter sports here, and returning home to share their experiences with others.

• Awesome News Layout.
• Incredible Mountain and Weather Info & Cam Panel.
• OV TV - The closest thing Ogden Valley has to it's own TV station.
• New Team Members.
• More great content with new commenting system.

Ogden Valley residential sales activity picked up during the summer with double digit monthly sales activity from June through August, for the first time since June 2007. Third quarter single family sales totaled 17, an increase from the 3^rd quarter '06 sales of 14; and condo sales totaled 12, up from 5 for the same quarter of '06. However, 2007 YTD sales for both houses and condos are still ~24% below '06 YTD numbers. Sellers and their agents are becoming more realistic about pricing as it has become more apparent that the market correction affecting so much of the country is also affecting Valley real estate sales. At the same time, buyers see an opportunity to buy into the Valley at prices that are still reasonable in comparison to many other resort markets.

We Have A Winner!!!!

Brandon Sorter (from the west side of the mountains) comes away with the pizza prize!!  He responded to our email within about 2 minutes of it going out.  Special props go out to Joel Estrada #1 and Allison Wimmer #2 for being even hungrier, but slightly less patient.

Stay tuned for next month's pizza give away, when we'll try to make it even more interesting.

Special thanks again to Alpine Pizza for helping us make this possible.
