This is a new section for the Park City Journel. Wanted to start it off with a little view of the Ogden Valley. Think of a town with one stop sign and you have a good start on a place that is very unique. Ogden Valley consists of the towns of Eden, Huntsville and Liberty. There are four major attractions in the Ogden Valley:
Pineview Lake - Northern Utah’s most popular lake
Snowbasin Resort - Utah’s Premier Day Ski Resort www.snowbasin.com with summer activities as well.
Powder Mountain - Largest skiable acreage in North America www.powdermountain.com
Wolf Creek Utah - Skiing and Golf recreation area
As residents of the valley for the last ten years, we have seen some growth but it is still an undiscoved paradise. We moved to Utah for the winters. Utah is the soft snow capital of the U.S. but Ogden Valley is the soft snow capital of Utah! As we have spend our summer sailing our 22′ Catalina on Pineview and hiking the many canyons in the valley, we have found summer to be a very special time as well.
Come and visit….. step back in time……

The Park City Chamber of Commerce recently hosted the annual International Forum. Focused primarily on travel operators, the speakers provided some very interesting facts on the Park City Travel Market.
The Chamber offers the Three Resort International Pass to attract international visitors. It offers discounts on tickets at Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort, and The Canyons. The pass has averaged 15% growth per year over the last 4 years. For more information on the International Pass see the Chamber site at http://www.parkcityinfo.com
Australia is the Park City’s #1 International Market. There are numerous Australian ski clubs and fortunately the economy has been able to largely avoid the Global Financial Crisis. The Australians are beginning to expand their travels more internationally, and Park City is a great destination.
Brazil is also has an active and growing skier community. Although there is no skiing in Brazil, there are over 20,000 members in the American Airlines Ski Club. Brazil will host the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, so there will be considerable international exposure. American Airlines has added a significant number of flights to numerous cities throughout the country to meet the increasing travel demands.
Utah gets approximately 19.4 Million international visitors per year who spend close to $6.2 Billion Dollars. Some of the other strong markets are Germany (who make the most foreign trips), Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Argentina. For more information on
Utah travel see the Utah Tourism site at http://www.travel.utah.gov If you are looking for opportunities in Park City Real Estate, contact Jim and Billie Harsch with Mountain Town Realty Group at http://www.unlockparkcity.com
