FIRST HALF OF 2008
The first half of 2008 has performed pretty much as expected given the economic climate and the exposure this subject has garnered in the media. Kelowna has not remained untouched by the adjustment in the market , but it is still the preferred choice of our long time customers from Vancouver, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
A comparison of the first half of 2008 with the same period in 2007 yields the following results:

WHEN ROSS REBAGLIATI, a Canadian, won the inaugural snowboarding event—the men's giant slalom—at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, the question afterward was not about steroids but another drug: Did he inhale?
Rebagliati tested positive for marijuana after his winning run and immediately had his gold medal revoked. He claimed the culprit was secondhand smoke that he'd been exposed to at a party less than a month before the Games. "Honestly, I didn't go to the Olympics with a

WB runs
June 18th, 2008
Whistler/Blackcomb are two of the biggest mountains that most people will ever have the chance to ski or ride on. My favourite runs on a powder day (30cm's or more) are Cat Skinner and Upper and Lower Gear Jammer, Ross' Gold and Ross' Gold Trees as well as the Chimney and CBC North. These are all runs found on Blackcomb. There are plenty more runs or lines hidden in the trees, out of sight from the average visitors. Whistler has lots of amazing runs that are easily accessible to the experienced rider but for the typical visitor runs like under the Red Chair, Christmas Trees as well as the vast selection of lines found on the Harmoney Chair

Kelowna's real estate market is slowing down a little more.
The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation released a report outlining that housing starts fell from 349 units in April 2007 to 249 units this Aprils due largely to fewer multi family starts.
But, not only are there fewer starts, there's also less demand than there was in the past.
Market Analyst Paul Fabri pointed out, however, that news needs to be put in context as previous years showed record breaking profits and demand.
So, instead of expecting double digit profits, scale back expectations
