We're open!

Nov 30, 2012 — Dennis Hanlon, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

Thanksgiving has come and gone and in spite of warm, sunny weather most of the Utah ski resorts are open, all though on a limited basis. The best skiing right now is in the Cottonwood Canyons and I would have to think that Alta and Snowbird are the best as they received over a foot of snow about 10 days ago. But here in Park City, Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons resort are open, and Deer Valley opens in less than two weeks.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our U.S. friends!

Nov 22, 2012 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

November 22, 2012. Fulford Ferry in Fulford Harbour Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends! The Canadian Thanksgiving is always in early October, and is tied more to a Harvest moment.   Although an important family occasion, it doesn't carry the same resonance as the U.S. celebration. The U.S. Thanksgiving begins a special holiday celebration that extends to New Year's. An attitude of gratitude is always a response to strive for. Thanksgiving reminds us all, no matter the date, to gather with our nearest and dearest, to enjoy a special feast, to remember those alone & in need, & to celebrate our blessings...together. Happy Thanksgiving!

Promontory - UtahThe Greatest Snow on Earth!

Nov 21, 2012 — Promontory Club, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

November 17th, 2012 · Living Have ever wondered why Utah is the “Greatest Snow on Earth.”  Take a look at the snow we received from the last few storms.  The weather forecasters predicted 1-2 feet, but some ski resorts reported 52”. This is due to the “lake effect” from the Great Salt Lake.  Similar to the Great Lakes, the water never freezes and a strong, cold, northwestern wind will blow across the warm lake causing an unstable temperature to meet at a convergence zone.  The warm air begins to cool as it rises.  The moisture that evaporates condenses and forms clouds, causing snow to fall.  As the clouds move across the lake onto land there is a greater friction and the clouds will slow down causing the snow to dump.  When it reaches the mountains the air must rise higher causing it to cool even more which creates more snow.

The Spanish Island of Mallorca

Nov 21, 2012

Courtesy of Geoff Llewellyn of Michael Perkins Finest Properties Mallorca is the largest of Spain's Balaeric Islands, blessed with on average 300 days of sunshine a year, it attracts an international mix of people who live, work and play here. It provides a stable political environment with reputable lawyers, banks and currency exchange specialists who speak most European languages. It has a very reliable legal system, property rights and a long history of increasing property prices and values. There is little risk of overdevelopment of the island in construction terms, because of protected "green zones" and limited land and infrastructure to support mass development. It takes on average just two hours to fly to the capital city Palma from most major European cities and Palma airport is a modern facility which includes a private jet terminal. There arAe 262 beaches to discover and enjoy and with over 20 superb courses, the island is a golfer's paradise. A year round cultural calendar with specific opera and ballet seasons and summer music festivals of different genres, attract international performers. Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea the island is a fabulous place to enjoy all water sports particularly yachting with its well equipped marinas. Palma is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with well maintained and sympathetically restored historic buildings preserving the city's rich architectural heritage. Popular with the Spanish Royal Family who reside here each August, Mallorca is the perfect choice for a holiday or permanent home.
