Spring Has Sprung!

With the start of spring here, we are excited to embrace the change of seasons. The end of winter was a great finale—the extra snowfall helped the ski conditions and the hi-country water levels.

With regular operations at Durango Mountain Resort finished, the resort will be open for one more weekend of skiing. Winter ended on a great note, with some new snow late in the week.  Specifically, we would like to thank all of the people who helped with the fundraiser held at DMR for Zane Bilgrav. As a long time local, Zane has worked in the scuba diving community, and he served as a real estate broker for DMR and at The Wells Group earlier in his career. He is now battling stomach cancer, and DMR held an amazing “Zaney Beach Party” to support Zane and his family. What a fantastic way to finish the winter season!

Now, we look ahead to spring. I am excited to play more tennis, and Andy Ratcliffe, a real estate broker at The Wells Group mentioned the excellent fly fishing this last weekend. Hiking is more accessible. For golfers, more courses are open. Mountain bikers may expand their trails from the winter routes. Four wheel drive roads will soon be easier to navigate and explore. Longer days make for enjoyable dinners outside. The perfect temperature makes Mesa Verde an awesome day trip, and the Utah canyon country is at its finest. Lake trips are just around the corner.

The options are nearly endless for spring activities in Durango. We hope you and your family enjoy the time outside and the time together this spring season.
