Things are looking good in Summit County! Not only do we have excellent snow totals, but bookings are up 12% (which makes a second improved year in a row for rentals), retail is up roughly 15%, and real estate over all is on a positive trend. I hope you and your family have the opportunity to escape to the high country to enjoy everything we have to offer! <\/span><\/p>\n Total Sales for Summit County: <\/span>Summit County sales are <\/span>up 16% <\/span>for 2013 over 2012<\/span>, and September was our strongest month with a <\/span>59% increase <\/span>over September 2012.
