Stairway to Heaven



Telluride Loses another Landmark

Baked In Telluride BurningA bit of the culture, a bit of our history, a bit of ourselves was lost when our beloved B.I.T. burned to the ground. Baked in Telluride was lost to fire last month. Telluride’s oldest restaurant, a stalwart of the old school Telluride is gone. The best bagels, the best pizza, my morning coffee, the first stop after school for our kids. We'll miss you B.I.T.





Stairway to HeavenNew stairway to Heaven

The newest addition to the Telluride Ski Resort has a French accent. The ski area just installed 126 feet of stairs and bridge designed to give skiers unprecedented access across the gulf between Gold Hill Chutes 8 & 9. The access to the Gold Hill Chutes was improved this summer when they blasted a road up above the revelation lift which gives snowcats the opportunity to groom a trail all the way across the ridge. Dave Reilly and the ski company are really opening some extraordinary terrain. I hope you get a chance to experience it this season.



Phish Coming to Town Park

Phish is coming to TellurideThe Sheriff is already getting calls about Phish coming to town. Of course he is, people are asking him for tickets! While we lost a landmark and a throwback to our roots when we lost the B.I.T. last month, we maintain our character and traditions when we book a group like Phish in town park. It has been 30 years since the Grateful Dead played town park and it is a pleasure to maintain that type of gathering in Telluride. The jam band announced a two night stint in Telluride August 9 & 10.


 

  

Market Update

Not out of the Woods, But Gaining Momentum

It appears things might start turning around in the national real estate world. Altos Research reported on December 28, 2009 that "Inventory in the resale market continues its steady decline after peaking in the fall of 2008, and while new sellers entering the market are pricing at consistently lower levels, indicating general market weakness, the percentage of sellers with price reductions is also falling, indicating that sellers who have been on the market are feeling more confident of receiving their ask price."
