Happy New Year From Pagosa Country! This holiday season was a very good one in Pagosa. Business was brisk all over town, most of the hotel beds were full, and the restaurants stayed very busy. Wolf Creek Ski Area set a new single-day attendance record over Christmas break. After a series of recent storms, local […]

Our little town received a fresh layer of snow over the weekend which has everyone looking ahead to winter in the high country. New snow blowers and snow tires are frequent topics of discussion all over town. Wolf Creek Ski Area is 100% open with a midway depth of 24”. As everyone recovers from their […]

October was definitely my busiest month of the year. My office has been a blur of activity over the last several weeks. Unfortunately, this personal activity did not translate into the monthly statistics. October 2010 lagged behind October 2009 in overall sales. This is the second consecutive month in which we’ve trailed last year. One […]

As I have mentioned before, I believe that Pagosa Springs is the friendliest town in Colorado.  One of my past clients confirmed this belief when she sent me the following story: —– When my late husband and I went to Pagosa, we actually found out just how friendly Pagosa is.  As we drove from Texas, […]

Indian Summer is upon us. This has been the nicest September I can remember since I moved to Pagosa Springs in 1983. Hopefully, we will see the weather pattern change as we approach the second half of October. A little bit of cooler weather will make the hunters happy, and a few snowflakes will get […]

The weather over Labor Day Weekend was spectacular. As we head into the Colorfest Balloon Rally next weekend, it is expected to continue. The weatherman is predicting 70 degrees and sunny all week. Soon we’ll be sliding into Fall, perhaps the most beautiful season in Pagosa (though it’s hard to pick just one!) The Aspens […]

Independence Day is always an exciting time in Pagosa. There is truly something for everyone. Of course, there are the old standbys: the parade and the fireworks. But we also have an Arts & Crafts Festival in the park, the Red Ryder Rodeo, a free concert or two, and a musical produced by the Music […]

I am out of the office on vacation this week, so this newsletter will be short and sweet. My wife and I are on a cruise on the Oasis with Royal Caribbean. Even though I am out of the office, I will not be out of commission. I will keep in regular touch with the […]

Spring has sprung in Pagosa. The last few days have been breezy and warm, and the last remnants of the glacier on the north side of my house have finally melted away. At the office, it’s “listing season.” Spring is traditionally a time when my desk is piled high with paperwork for homes and properties […]
