Thanks bro. I am amazed at how expensive houses are now in secondary ski areas. We all knew that Vaila nd Aspen were insane but Breck, Steamboat and Crested Butte plus others have gone nuts. Gunnison is looking good. I was also checking out Pagosa but Wolf Creek is a hike up the mtn and I am not sure how good Wolf Creek is. I know some chill places near Monarch but Monarch is kind of small even though they get lots of snow.
my main areas are monarch and wolf creek. monarch is a day trip for me and i usually overnite for wolf creek.
pagosa was pretty cheap 5 yrs ago,, not anymore. and wolf creek pass gets shutdown frequently.
salida is awesome near monarch but also expensive. all year round fun there though.
haven't skied steamboat but it's off the beaten path as far as skiers go but it's really expensive.
durango is a cool college town too. also very expensive.
