Oh gosh Sarah, your not a NIMBY asshole. I've been reading your posts on the issue and my take is that it is very complicated and emotional. The problem is hitting many of our mountain towns of course, but there aren't any great solutions. I think you make a pretty convincing case. I for one am wishing you luck in the fight.

NIMBY? No way. NIMBY's oppose things new airport runways that might affect their precious sleep, or just for the sake of it sometimes. You're just being a good steward of a resource that we can either flatten and sell or save for many more generations! Keep up the good fight.

As a new trail runner getting into longer distances, thanks for the "shorter" race suggestions. I'm up to 10 mile trail runs and am looking for some half marathon --> marathon races this summer! Excited to research these a bit more.

And greetings from Vail! :)

I don't think lack of development is the problem with price in the market right now. It's who holds the property. I agree with your assessment that opening this little area up for development is the camel's nose in the tent
