Deer Valley Resort Ranked the #1 Ski Area in North America an Astonishing Fifth Year in Row!

Deer Valley, Utah (PRWEB) November 28, 2011

Bob Wheaton, Deer Valley Resort?s president and general manger sums it up by saying, ?No other ski resort has accomplished anything close to this,? and, ?The culture here is to put the guest first at all times, and our employees not only accomplish this every day, but enjoy it.?

Time has proven that Park City offers more than the average ski town, with 3 world class ski resorts within 10 minutes of each other and only 45 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport. Park City offers better prices and newer inventory to people looking to buy a condo or home, then Colorado?s ski towns. The bottom line is Deer Valley real estate is where it's at!

Mr. Reece stated that the Deer Valley Specialists focus on providing education, attentive service and a great deal of knowledge in all things Park City. The Deer Valley Specialist team is with Prudential Utah Real Estate the #1 real estate company in Park City, with 7 offices, and long time presence and involvement within the Park City community.

A reason Park City has become such a sought after vacation destination is the communities? dedication to constantly improving. For instance, Park City Mountain Resort spent several years developing some of the ski industry?s premier family programs and adding on-mountain family winter adventures with its Adventure Alleys, Alpine Coaster, and new Flying Eagle Zip Line. Canyons Resort made millions in improvements last year and was ranked #16 overall, along with being in the top 10 for best on- mountain food, by SKI Magazine. The resorts keep improving their terrain and services instead of scaling back like others through-out the country.

Here?s what satisfied Deer Valley home & condo owners are saying about the Deer Valley Specialist team:

"I make my living with my words but I must confess coming up with the right superlatives to describe my appreciation and admiration for Craig and Delia is rather difficult. Let's just say they are the kindest, most patient, and certainly the most educated real estate agents I have ever had the pleasure of knowing? - Jim Nantz, CBS Sports

?Craig Reece delivered unique, unparalleled service. He exceeded my expectations in every regard. He is efficient, a great listener, made great use of my time and he was incredibly effective producing the results I desired. Craig sets a new standard of excellence among all professionals.? -Richard Hamlin, Retired Sr. Ptr. KPMG LLP

Inaugural Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival scheduled Jan. 28-29 80 miles north of Las Vegas

Mesquite, Nev. (PRWEB) January 17, 2012

Southern Nevadans will get the chance to enjoy the majestic world of hot air balloons Jan. 28-29 when the inaugural Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival is presented.

Spearheaded by balloon meister Gayle McCoy of Elko, the event is expected to draw about 24 participants. A 22-year resident of the city in northeastern Nevada, McCoy literally eats, sleeps and breaths the world of hot air balloons.

Let it never be questioned that the energetic McCoy is enthusiastic about the color of hot air balloon festivals. Self-proclaimed as a ?utility guy? at Barrick Bald Mountains gold mine in Elko, Nev., McCoy is certain that yet another ?first? in Mesquite is about to become one of the city?s favorite events.

?It?s a passion for me,? said McCoy adding that a long-running hot air balloon festival in North Las Vegas ceased about 6-7 years ago. ?I think people are going to remember this one in Mesquite for years to come.?

McCoy explained that his enthusiasm of hot air balloon festivals started about 32 year ago when his wife, Martha, worked for a newspaper in Riverton, Wyo. Her boss attended a hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque, N.M. before arriving home to tell anyone who would listen what a great event he had just attended.

?From there, it?s been up, up and away,? laughs the colorful McCoy, who found the energetic and progressive minds of Mesquite eager to create yet another balloon festival. His own balloon, Misbehavin, will be part of the gathering in Mesquite.

Contestants include eight from Nevada; nine from Utah (Park City, Murray, Alpine, West Jordan, St. George, Salt Lake City and Salina); six from California (Simi Valley); and one from Arizona.

The festival in Mesquite is sponsored by Mesquite Gaming along with AmeriGas of St. George, Utah. All events related to the festival will be held at the CasaBlanca Resort or the CasaBlanca Golf Course. An in depth schedule of events includes an assortment of gatherings. Balloons will launch each day beginning at about 6:30 a.m. from the CasaBlanca Golf Course.

In the afternoon, tethered rides will be available beginning at 3 p.m. at the CasaBlanca Resort Parking lot weather permitting.

Equally as entertaining will be a balloon glow on the grounds of the CasaBlanca Resort on the evening of Jan. 28. An awards presentation Jan. 29 will wrap up festivities at 10 a.m. at the CasaBlanca Golf Club.
