Although we all wonder where the snow is, it seems to be a surprisingly normal year for visitors. The magicians who make snow have outdone themselves this year and have taken us to the time that never fails to bring real snow - the Sundance Film Festival. Sundance is 10 days (Jan 18-28) of maxing out every resource Park City has to offer (except ski hill capacity). The new Community Guide To The 2018 Sundance Film Festival is helpful for parking and logistics - http://parkcity.org/home/showdocument?id=48708 . My only advise is to bring lots of cash and comfortable snow boots and don't ask the question "Don't you know who I am?" or you'll wind up in the amnesia ward of our world class hospital. One piece of recent news you can use to prove that you're up to speed on Park City news is the announcement that the joint venture between KSL Capital Partners and Henry Crown and Co that acquired Deer Valley Resort has finally come up with a name - Alterra Mountain Co. - http://www.tinyurl.com/ybtlhcuf . For additional background refer to my 8/26/17 uncategorized post - "The Battle of 800 lb Gorillas Begins With the Sale of Deer Valley" and my 4/15/17 uncategorized post entitled "Lets Get Ready To Rumble!". Project news is proceeding at warp speed and I have identified 3 projects now under construction in Deer Valley and 7 projects underway in Canyons Village that will be the real estate focus this season. Detailed analysis of these projects will be the subject of my posts in the near future. There were 41 pended sales reported by the Park City Multiple Listing Service in the week ended 1/5/18. 20 closings and 41 new listings were reported during that week. In the week ended 1/12/18, there were 58 pended sales, 29 closings and 48 new listings.
