“Durango has two real seasons, summer railroad and rafting, and winter skiing at Purgatory, with events like the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic and Snowdown adding spikes. Summer visitors stay a few nights in town, ski guests want easy mountain access. I price the two seasons on separate curves and fill mud season with longer stays.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Durango books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic on Memorial Day weekend as an event premium.
Run June to August with 3-night minimums for railroad and rafting families.
Price Purgatory holiday weeks as the top ski bands.
Add Snowdown weekend in February.
Offer monthly rates in April, May and late autumn.

Purgatory's holiday weeks and Snowdown in early February are the winter highlights; I price those firmly and fill quieter ski weekdays with longer stays from New Mexico and Texas.
Snow melts and the train has not reached Silverton yet, so I use monthly stays and lower floors, then lift Memorial Day for the Iron Horse.
Railroad and rafting families fill the town, so I price weekends highest, protect multi-night stays and keep weekdays firm while the Silverton train is running.
Fall colour on the Million Dollar Highway and the Cowboy Poetry Gathering lift some weekends, so I price those dates individually and lower the rest gradually.
The Polar Express train and early ski season help weekends, so I lift December dates for families and keep November floors realistic until Purgatory opens.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Durango needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
With Durango owners I spend real time on the permit question, then on how the home splits between the railroad summer and the Purgatory winter. Together we set targets for each season, plan the Iron Horse, Snowdown and Polar Express dates, and decide how to handle the long spring lull.
I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with two seasonal curves, custom events for the Iron Horse, Snowdown and Cowboy Poetry Gathering, gap rules between ski bookings, and monthly settings for April and May, so the tool never mistakes mud season for a slow summer.
Durango hotels juggle railroad groups, rafting families, skiers and university visitors. I help define seasonal rate fences, set packages with train or ski tickets where they make sense, and choose a comp set that separates downtown historic hotels from motels along the highway corridor.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
Both are strong in different ways. Alaa builds a summer season for rail and rafting visitors and a winter season for skiers.
As a premium weekend with minimum stays, opened early.
Yes. When the full Silverton route runs, from late spring to autumn, summer demand is at its strongest, while the winter Cascade Canyon train draws fewer visitors. I build summer peaks around the full route season and keep winter pricing tied to skiing and holiday trains.
Most homes earn from both, but location decides the balance. Downtown homes lean on summer and events, while homes up the valley or near Purgatory earn more from skiing. I look at where your home sits and weight its curves accordingly.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Durango, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Mountain Time (UTC-7).
