HAPPY SKI YEAR
2011/2012 SEASON
Here we are in may with great ski conditions, the last storm left Mammoth Mt. with a great new couple of feet of snow, everything is open at the main lodge. We have a few weeks left in our ski season, so come on up. Canyon and Eagle are closed for the year. At this time the mountain plans to remain open through the end of May, you never know if it will be possible to continue on into June.
As you may know, we had about 60 feet of snow last season, in the 36 years of living in Mammoth, I have seen many big storms, however last year topped them all. This year we are down from the normal, However we have had great skiing over the last few months. Mammoth had all three lodges open with skiing from top to bottom, great conditions.
LOCAL CONDITIONS: You can find all current SNOW CONDITIONS AND ROAD CONDITIONS in this web site. Be safe and check before you travel.
The new "HIGH FIVE" chair opened this year, it is nice to retire the old chair 5. The new location is down hill from the old bottom location, great for the skiers coming from chair 3. The new Village Ski Back Trail was open this past winter, work is complete on the bridge over Forest Trail to the Village. So you can now take this from chair 7 and 4 to the village. hop on the Gondola back to Canyon Lodge.
We have some very good news about the Village. The summer and winter events were great, everyone enjoyed the bands and entertainment throughout the summer. The shops and restaurants had a very good year. Mammoth local Gomez's Mexican Restaurant has moved in, also, the Mountain has taken over the prime space overlooking the plaza. It looks like there will be many more local shops coming back and a few larger retailers as well. Things look good for this important center of Mammoth.
REAL ESTATE MAMMOTH LAKES: It's been busy over the last few months, the properties that are priced correctly have been selling, many multiple offers with the REO's/Bank Owned . Some buyers are losing out, it is very important to move fast with some of the foreclosed properties. We have very few on the market here in Mammoth.
REO's...REO's...REO's...BANK OWNED PROPERTIES...Our "Mammoth Realty Group" office handles a majority of the Foreclosed properties here in the Eastern Sierra. Please refer to my "Featured Properties" within this web site. You will find a complete list of REO property listings. Also, we know of the up coming Foreclosures, just give me a call 1-800-434-3417. All I can say, is that there are some very nice listings coming on in the near furture.
For the people that want out of the snow for the day, just head down to Bishop, the Golf has been great. The temps. have been in the 60's with no wind. Many of us feel that Bishop is in the best shape in many years, lots of rain this past year in Bishop, very good course conditions. If you find yourself in our area often and like golf, you may want to join the Bishop Country Club. It has to be the best buy in golf. Unlimited golf for $100. per month, $318. per quarter for a family membership, that is a great deal.
MAMMOTH REAL ESTATE: We,ve had a very good summer selling season, all of our fellow Realtors are reporting that sales are steady, lots of people are shopping and many offers. Some of the REO's that are priced right are getting multiple offers and selling over the list price that the bank assigned to them. We feel that there are some very good buys at this time. In regard to our regular property listings, they need to compete with the REO's/Foreclosures. This is making for some very good buys. We have not had too many bank owned properties here in the Eastern Sierra. I do think we will have more, but not many. Please feel free to call for detailed real estate information.

See you in Mammoth,
