Grousing About Growth


Copper mountain has really grown since I lived in Denver. It used to be a sleepy place with one lodge building and a young, fun crowd. There weren't too many screaming kids (due to the relative paucity of green slopes and Keystone being nearby). Now, Copper is jam packed with people on the weekends with long lift lines and condos all around the slope (admittedly Monday was much better). I suppose nothing really stays the same forever, especially nice places to hang out. Sooner or later everyone else finds your favorite spot, moves in, develops all kinds of real estate and poof, it all looks like urban Los Angeles. Well, maybe not that bad; but it does seem to be a nasty side effect of growth. Of course, we can't all the "the last" person to move in, now can we?
