It’s Time For Ski Towns To Start Anti-Marketing Only then may we be able to actually live in a ski town without having to sleep in a Subaru
In 1970, the late great Hunter S. Thompson ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, where Aspen was just starting to blow up. Thompson ran on a platform of tearing up all the pavement in town, legalizing drugs, and re-naming the community "Fat City" to deter real estate hype and close-minded visitors. Nearly 50 years later, hype rules and ski towns have paid the price. Thompson spent his later years in a drug-addled haze of gin and despair, in no small part driven by the pain of watching what had been the coolest mountain town in America turn into a place owned by Saudi Sheiks, twats in leather pants, and other glitterati who didn't ski. After Aspen, every other great American ski town has followed suit. ........... Rest of Story

Bozeman named No. 1 place to live (if you’re a skier)
BOZEMAN MONTANA • "Bozeman is the perfect mix of ski town and skitropolis; it's more affordable than Jackson Hole, less crowded than Salt Lake City and more of a real town that Whistler."Thus begins Powder magazine's glowing review in of Bozeman in its November cover story on the "Top 20 places to live to ski."

A
friendly alternative to glitzy Jackson Hole GRAND TARGHEE, Wyoming (AP) -- Bill Royall chose the University of Denver
so he could take the winter quarters off from school and hit the slopes.Grand
Targhee has an annual snowfall of nearly 500 inches, with up to 650 inches
in the whitest of winters.................................His powder-searching
ways continued after college, landing him in Vail for a few years before it
eventually became too crowded, too trendy. A move to Aspen ended with the same
claustrophobic result.
And so it went, Royall's quest for a quiet skiing sanctuary going on for years,
taking him to places like Steamboat Springs, Taos, Sun Valley. And it always
ended the same: moving out when the crowds moved in......................................The
nomadic journey seemed to come to an end about 20 years ago when he arrived in
Jackson, Wyoming, a place still oozing with that dusty-floor saloon charm of
the Old West.....................................But, like all the other ski
towns that had lured Royall with its charms, Jackson changed, attracting fuzzy-jacket-wearing
out-of-towners to the slopes and trendy shops with pricey paintings and sparkly
T-shirts lining the streets.
Then Royall found Grand Targhee.------------------------------ > More
