Closing Dates for Summit County Ski Resorts
As the days start to get longer and the weather warms, Colorado’s snowpack will slowly begin to melt off its peaks, bringing hope for a wildfire-free summer.
 
With Colorado’s snowpack typically reaching its peak at some point at the beginning of April, ski area’s bases will slowly begin to shrink, and mountain operation teams will turn toward closing the slopes for the season.
 
Although this winter season may have felt like major storms have been infrequent, the bases at ski areas are close, or on par with the snow totals that have historically been seen over the last four years at this time of year.
 
Copper Mountain and Keystone Ski Resort have already set their closing dates. Continue reading to hear about Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge...
Big News in Real Estate
In March, the National Association of Realtors proposed a settlement in response to lawsuits, which may bring significant changes to our industry. While it's not approved yet, Christie's International Real Estate is prepared to adapt and help clients navigate any new norms. Changes, if approved, might include no longer displaying commissions on listings and potential shifts in commission payment structures. The settlement could lead to fewer realtors nationwide, potentially improving service quality and reducing costs for sellers. Nothing is certain right now but we here at Christie's will be sure to keep you informed with any updates. Please do call me if you have any further questions.

Charter Season: 7 of the World’s Best Yachting Locations
Does anything even approach the romance, adventure, and freedom of cruising the Seven Seas in a luxury yacht? The vessel is built to enhance, embrace, and refine every aspect of life at sea. The best designs emphasize space, fixtures, finishes—and creature comforts.
 
The superyacht dials all that up to 11 by maximizing livability with such amenities as swimming pools, personal watercraft (a minisub, anyone?), satellite links, private chefs, outdoor entertainment decks, cinemas, even helipads.
 
For any sea traveler, though, the best leg of any voyage is the voyage home. This edition of Luxury Defined showcases the world’s most livable yachting destinations, and the homes that equal—or even exceed—superyacht luxury.  Welcome home, sailor, home from the sea.
