2020 - what a year indeed! We gladly bid adieu to 2020, and look forward to a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2021. 

THE END APPEARS TO BE IN SIGHT (fingers crossed!)
We're not out of the woods yet, but vaccines have arrived in Utah and in many other states as of press time. It's reassuring that we have a potential path to normalcy in 2021, with the possible end of the pandemic. We are enormously grateful to the scientists and healthcare workers that have worked tirelessly to look after our health during this past year and roll out vaccines in a herculean schedule. 
THE RESORTS ARE OPEN
The snow has arrived, temperatures have been ideal for snowmaking, and the ski lifts are turning! It is great to have skiing and snowboarding back in our lives following the early closure of the resorts last season. Operations at the resorts are quite a bit different this year. Each of our local resorts has enacted COVID-related safety measures this season, addressing everything from lift lines and ticket sales, to parking and concessions. 
We strongly recommend that you review the most up-to-date operational plans for the resorts before your visit. And if one bit of advice can be offered, it is this: plan ahead and make reservations whenever possible!
CAN'T GET ON THE LIFTS? 
If you haven't planned ahead and made reservations, you may find it a little hard to gain access to the ski lifts during the busy holiday season. The resorts are making changes to try and keep up with inquiries. However, many days during the upcoming weeks are already fully booked. 
Fortunately, many great opportunities exist for winter fun in and around Park City! Check out our Winter Happenings Guide to see what other options are available for you to get out and enjoy this winter wonderland.

Despite the difficulties of 2020, our industry has much for which to be grateful. Thanks to you, our friends and clients, for your part in the most active year in real estate on record.  Final numbers aren't in yet, but the market had a record-breaking year in 2020.
