I hear the skiing there is nowhere near on par as a major resort so not sure that price is necessarily indicative of what Snowbasin will be.
And I wonder how many locals will be housed there? I have my hunches.At least there is one, undersized building for employee housing
Yes, maybe it's really unsettling to me from having worked in the investment business in the 90s and early 2000s when money markets paid 4% and you could purchase a decent home in a decent neighborhood for less than $200k in a mid-sized city. It's all been completely flipped upside down. I have some modest investments that have done well but of course I can't put them into a home as they are in retirement accounts, so in some ways I feel like I'm being left behind by the current economy. I KNOW I'm not alone. I know a lot of middle class, hard working people who are being left behind by the economy. I suppose the pendulum will swing back eventually. In the meantime, the winter playgrounds that many of us middle-income folks could afford and enjoy in what used to be "looked down upon, seedy Ogden" are being taken away from us. That's how it feels. Ogden has always been that blue collar, renegade town in Utah and that's one reason I moved here. Now, you can't even consider buying anything but a dump for less than $400,000. The resorts in the community are following that standard, it seems. Still, a family pass for Snowbird is now less than for Snowbasin? Really?
Well, I can’t afford Deer Valley but I do get a few days at Sun Valley, where Bogner fits right in. Now, where can I find some deeply discounted Bogner? (I’m kidding. Please don’t post links.)Darling, you would look marvelous in a Bogner. (Billy Crystal voice)
The up side is they won't sneer at you when you ski DV with your new Bogner.
Yup. I hear you. New Zealand has gone mad. I don't know how people afford it in the average salaries there. Australia pretty much the same deal. The global ultra low interest rates have driven enormous sums of wealth across all Western markets for those that had good nest eggs 10 to 20 years ago.
Even if I had Bogner I'd still cover it with grease and ducttape just to reinforce the idea that Ikon scum lack class with the entitled DV locals....Well, I can’t afford Deer Valley but I do get a few days at Sun Valley, where Bogner fits right in.

You'll recall this lovely little number for sale a few years ago that I posted. It cost substantially more than my first car. I honestly don't think I've ever seen Bogner on sale anywhere, but then again I don't go looking for it either LOL.Well, I can’t afford Deer Valley but I do get a few days at Sun Valley, where Bogner fits right in.
