That place (Ski the Porkies!) holds a very special place in my heart, first memorable powder day there in the early '90s. From there on, I wanted to ski powder and lots of it.Quote:

Every one got the dream in there head
Some think they can buy it
Others ride it
Most don't cut it
That's why it's a dream
2 year ban then it's game on. Hopefully, that law will tank the Canadian real estate market making it particularly attractive to douchy American powder hounds once the ban is lifted.Quote:

To the OP, PM me. I have a great 3 bdr 2 ba place on a trout stream just west of Bozeman, plenty of room to park a Sprinter. 34 minutes to the turn off to Big Sky and 35 minutes to the BB turn in. Make you a helluva deal.
It won't. Canadians and the Canadian real estate market doesn't operate anywhere near like America. I would like to see it codified tbh.Quote:

Nah - 7% interest rates are going to tank the market waaaay before the drop in the bucket that is foreign ownership will have any appreciable affect.Quote:

Makes sense - I didn’t move here for the upwardly mobile professional opportunities!
Rates aren't going to fuck anything except people who bought in 2020-2022 on a variable. Given the liberals creation of the gun ban, I wouldn't put it past them to flat out say "Fuck you if you're not Canadian/PR, you ain't buying shit".Quote:

Rates ain't gona affect cash rich boomers but in any case I don't see the canadian gov being anywhere near that together, they will wait at least a decade before taking any action by which time we will all be speaking mandarinQuote:

By my measure, it would have to average over 500” (inches, 1270 cm) per ‘season’. (Typically while lifts are spinning, but that’s a bit flexible).Quote:

Now we're getting somewhere. Baker and Alyeska might still have 300 inches at their summit in 2060, but it will be dirt at the base. Utah is supposed to add 2 million people by 2060. So looks like the OP is going to move in next to you in Driggs rideit.
Guess how much rent will be in Victor by then, if Yellowstone don’t blow?
Then of course, dude is retiring, so he’s a goner by 2045.
Forum dreaming.
Move to Hokkaido.
