Salt Lake City Real Estate Tips, Market Updates and

Local Happenings

By Real Estate Expert KathyOHomes

Vacationing in tough economic times can be challenging and many people are looking to stretch the dollar as far as possible while having as much fun as possible. As more and more people are finding out, a ski vacation to Salt Lake City Utah packs a lot in for the money.  As an example look at what Jayne Clark of USA Today featured on Friday:

SALT LAKE CITY - In any other U.S. city, the sight of Andrew Babis and his son Carmine clutching skis, poles and boots at a downtown bus stop might draw double takes. But here outside the Sheraton in the bracing air and weak light of a Monday morning, they attract nary a glance.

Babis and son, who flew all the way from their home in Perth, Australia, to experience Utah's legendary powder and plunging slopes, saved on lodgings by staying in town. They didn't bother renting a car, because city buses service four ski areas about 40 minutes away. Midway through their nine-day trip, they discovered even greater savings when they bought a Salt Lake Super Pass, which offers discounted lift tickets at those four resorts, plus bus fare.

In a season in which ski areas from Maine to California are offering cost-saving balms to soothe the economically battered, Salt Lake City-area resorts remain a haven for value-conscious skiers. Eleven ski areas are within an hour of the airport. Competition among city hotels - particularly if you avoid visiting when major events are in town - bring substantial savings over slope-side lodgings. Public transit eliminates the need for a rental car, an added bonus for inexperienced snow drivers. The city offers diversions on days when weary skiers want a break. And the Super Pass offers savings and flexibility.
