No sales dip in the high county

Buena Vista. What a place to live!  I sit here looking at a clear cobalt blue Colorado sky and 14,000+ foot snow-covered peaks pasted on the sky.  At 8,000 feet in this alpine valley, the real estate market is busy.  In years past, sales tailed off around Thanksgiving and picked up in March.  The rafters would be here in late April and there would be 5 or 6 cars in line at THE traffic light in June.  There were always plenty of days for rafting, climbing, snowshoeing, skiing and then 2006.  We have been discovered and sales are booming.  We will never be Vail or Aspen, but there will be more of us.  I love the business activity, but this morning, no phone calls yet, so perhaps I'll get out the snowshoes and try for 12,000 feet.
