1031 Exchanges - Sierra Summit Spring Skiing

Spring Skiing is Great!

I just spent the last two days skiing at Sierra Summit (located 60 miles east of Fresno Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake). The weather was spectacular. The cooler temperatures this weekend kept the snow in perfect "spring condition." Coverage is still excellent on the upper part of the mountain (top of Chair 1, 2 and 5). There is some dirt showing at the top of chair 7. The lower mountain, the last face of Express has some dirt patches but other than that the skiing is just great.

Unfortunately, very few people took advantage of the great conditions. My friends and I almost had the entire resort to ourselves. It was great!

Next weekend marks the official end of ski season at Sierra Summit. It's so sad because there is still so much snow but people have stopped skiing for the year it seems.

So, if you want one last skiing/boarding fix before

The Shaver Lake/Huntington Lake area is also a great place to consider buying investment property. It remains unspoiled and remote despite its close proximity to Fresno/Clovis. If you are looking at property at Huntington Lake make sure you understand the Forest Service Leases because it could disqualify the property for 1031 purposes.
