All of the mountain towns (especially the resort towns) are only for the stupid rich. We peasants are allowed to visit. There was a SERIOUS lull in the market in the 08-10 years, but they never got affordable. The stupid rich just slowed on buying/building there.

A friend of mine is (was) an architect for the high-end crown up there. He basically lost his life savings trying to stay afloat when the bottom dropped out. He ended up moving away. Building is picking up again there, and it's as expensive as ever.
