Recorded sales transfers for the resorts are acquired electronically from records inputted at the Somerset County Court House, Office of the Recorder of Deeds. We review sales in Jefferson (Hidden Valley) and Middlecreek (Seven Springs) Townships on a weekly basis.

Prices do not reflect bill of sales and other out of settlement transfers. Furnishings, which are included in the majority of sales are assigned no monetary value. We do not post transfers that carry $1.00 values.

Sorry, it's NOT an April Fools Joke. It's time to face the fact. The old work environment of days past, where families, not just individuals, worked their entire lives at the resort, those days are gone. Where you could walk down any hall way, sit in any bar stool or dining room chair, and greet employees by their first name and they knew you, your family, and what you liked.

Progress on major financial investments continues. The foundation for the Lodge at the Sporting Clays center has been poured. The Spa is soon to open. Yet March saw major employee cutbacks (many were long term employees) and a change in philosophy of the day to day operations at Seven Springs. Several shops and eateries are now open four days instead of seven. Hours have been cut back. Many of the familiar faces are gone along with their positions.

When asked, "How many people do you have working for you?" Herman Dupre (one of the past owners) was once jokingly quoted as saying, "We have between 800 to 1,200 employees depending upon the season. How many are working today is tough to say!" It used to be that Seven Springs boasted that they were the largest employer in Somerset County. Given this economy they may still be...

We realize that this is happening to people in every state. Some how we thought the mountain would be a safe haven. It is indeed a new environment, let us know what you think of it.

Here's a salute to all of those folks who are moving on that we will dearly miss. Thank you for your years of service. It is because of you that Seven Springs is at this point! We wish you well in these challenging times. You where what made the Seven Spring experience.

This week's frigid weather is setting up an excellent kick off for the 22^nd WTAE-TV Winterfest. Beginning Saturday you'll find events and activities for kids of all ages. Spanning nine days (Feb 7 - 15) TV personalities, celebrities and folks young and old get together to enjoy all that old man winter and the snow makers have given us!

There is way more to do than just outside activities. Take for example the Craft Shows on the weekends, Salsa Dancing Lessons, Roller skating and Daily activities for the kids! Here's a schedule for you to see for yourself!

If you are able to sneak away during the week there are some awesome deals! Like Monday the 9^th there's a two hour tubing sessions for ONLY $4.00!! Tuesday offers a $15 Learn to Ski Day! Just a note of caution there's a footnote on both of these offerings that states "This schedule is subject to change." If you are coming up specifically for an event we recommend calling first. Even though you should be able to find something else to keep you busy while you're here!!

Make sure you tune in during news time on WTAE-TV, that's channel 4 in our house! Especially on the weekends as they have great personal interviews with Seven Springs staff who keep the resort humming! It's always fun to have a face (even though it may be covered in ski gear) to go along with the name! We'll tell you though that even with HD TV you can't tell how BLUE Dick Barrons eyes are!!

For more Winterfest information, please call (866) 703-7625. Let's us know about your experience!
