Winterstar Valuations was created as the culmination of Ted Farwell's career in snow. With 40 years of ski resort appraisal services (from 1975 to 2015) his expertise was invaluable. He passed these skills and his business to his understudy and protege Christopher Hansen, MAI, who has been a full time appraiser for over 25 years. With a combined 65 years of experience, Winterstar Valuations is the industries premier service for Resort Valuation.
