Moving Mountains Chalets to Increase Luxury Lodging Inventory
Moving Mountains Chalets is experiencing growth in a down economy.
Steamboat Springs, CO (PRWEB) November 5, 2009 -- Steamboat luxury lodging company, Moving Mountains Chalets, is experiencing triple digit growth in advance of the coming winter season which bodes well for the local ski industry looking for signs of economic recovery.
Since the end of last ski season, Moving Mountains Chalets increased inventory of luxury vacation homes they manage by over 50 percent. Owner Robin Craigen attributes this growth to second-home owners and developers reevaluating their holding strategies, and their company’s reputation for offering the finest luxury homes and hospitality services
“In the current slow real estate market smart owners are realizing that Vacation Home Rental offers the opportunity to develop a revenue stream that enhances the value of their home and provides income to defer the costs of ownership,” Craigen said. “With the homes that we currently manage representing the best that Steamboat has to offer, Moving Mountains is a natural first choice for owners of the many spectacular new properties available.”
Moving Mountains Chalets has also been chosen to represent the owners of a select number of private, whole ownership residences at One Steamboat Place - A Signature Development of Timbers Resorts. The slope-side Private Residences redefine luxury vacation lodging in Steamboat and significantly elevate the status of the ski area as a World-Class vacation destination.
In response to this growth, Moving Mountains has added two new positions to their management staff.
Alex Pallut joins Moving Mountains as Guest Services Manager providing for all the guest’s pre-arrival activity reservations and services. Alex brings experience as a regional manager and guide at Backroads, a market leader in luxury active travel.
Riley Polumbus takes on a new position as Marketing and Communications manager. Riley will be responsible for the Moving Mountains website, www.movingmountains.com, and other online marketing as well as public relations and advertising. Riley comes to the company with eight years of public relations and web content management experience in Steamboat Springs.
“Alex and Riley bring strengths and experience to our staff team that emphasize our desire to maintain a high level of service and continuing to exceed guest expectations as we grow,” Craigen added.
