Mountain towns and ski trips

[Deleted User]hoosierdan76 (deleted user)

Surprised at how very few people show up anywhere near well known ski towns. Park City, Telluride. Vail, Aspen, Whistler, Tahoe, Breck, etc. There's a few in Durango but not much else. Just wondering if there’s any ski town specific meetups or coordinated ski trips for people who hit the slopes or whatever. Seems like adding a cuddle session to the typical apres scene of exploring town / restaurant / hot tub / whatever would be almost the best experience we could hope for in this life.

In other news, pros could making a killing by moving to a ski town. Just saying.

  • Wolf Creek Ski Area is just down the road from Pagosa Springs, CO.

    Fabulous powdered snow; rejuvenating hot springs.

  • There's a thing in Denver not really ski town but close

  • The people in ski towns are often physically attractive and they don't have to search for cuddles.

  • Expensive areas to live, even the B tier towns are pricey. Not many people have the $10K-15K+ available, adequate credit scores and flexibility needed to make that kind of move. From what I've read here, cuddling is rarely steady income, especially with the constant Pro complaints of their clients flaking.
    (I deal with many property management companies in Michigan that oversee rental communities and AirBNB properties across the state, and leases usually forbid high-traffic businesses in residences, as do many city ordinances.)

    “ The people in ski towns are often physically attractive and they don't have to search for cuddles.”

    People who live in the mountains are in fact healthier but ski towns are a sausage fest, the guy to girl radio is astronomical from both the locals and the unlimited supply of tourists coming in. The younger generation is starting to change this but middle aged and up is still way different, some places have reported a 10 to 1 guy to girl ratio in the past. There’s a couple of sayings about ski towns. First is if you live in one and you’re not married by age 25 you’ll be single forever. Second is that you never get to keep the girl, you only get your turn. Just a very skewed ratio overall. Most of the population in the winter is middle aged guys with money staying in a pretty nice hotel and looking for something to do at night. I have a hard time believing that a good female pro wouldn’t be very popular.

    There’s an unlimited number of nice hotels and rental houses, you’d never have to host, there are several mobile-only massage businesses in every town, really wouldn’t be any different.

  • @hoosierdan76 Pros would still need a place to stay when they aren't working. Hotel, food, transportation, that gets pricey. I'm betting that ski resort tourist areas are more likely to have last minute cancellations or no-shows by new clients who found someone else while at dinner or a party. Pros most likely can't afford a hit on their income like that.

  • Having lived in a small town in Colorado - all of these responses referencing how expensive and scarce housing is in those towns is definitely the main issue. It’s hard enough just for employees at some of these lodges to find a place close by they can afford. But hey - if someone wants to take me back to a small town Colorado ski town and cuddle, message me! 🫠
