I have owned a timeshare in Park City Utah for about 30 yrs.
My friend did the development and i bought at the end - when it didn't pay to keep the sales office open for the last few units.
We bought the last dozen or so...........late march, perfect skiing.
My partner & I have 3 weeks concurrent.
Then the Olympics were announced
I got hustled ( a $100Saks gift card) to preview a new development on Main Street... a 'skiway' over the street directly to the resort.
I turned it down..... $25,000 = 3 bedrooms that broke into a 2 bed & 1 bed rental...............DUMB
A few years later, Wolf Mt became the Canyons
Then the Canyons expanded
Then I got hustled again for another timeshare...
I said ...Oh No... been there done that - I didn't even buy downtown at the 'skiway ' project
The salesman chided me.... Nooo, you didn't pass on that ??
Yup, did so
They've tripled............
Timeshare can be a good deal... it all depends.........
We have had our 30 yrs of free lodging and skiing on Olympic territory
SnowBird, Alta, Snow Basin, Deer Valley, Park City
All flying into an airport that has never closed for snow and is 35 minutes from the hills.
The only one in No America..... Vail/Eagle doesn't count
That's why my friend did the development........
There are good deals to be had here in RD too.....
But you need to pick & choose
