Worked a year on patrol at Mammoth, great hill with easily accessible backcountry and year round trout fishing. As for living in the Mountains, got it out of system during college and my 20's, over the snow and cold.

Would you move to the mountains?

Mammoth was killer last week - some of the best snow of the season - great mountain. For the last 15 years - I have had a house in Colorado and one in East LA and a camper that I spend weeks/months in drive back and forth in depending on the season. I enjoy both but the beach always wins out for me. The older I get - the more I enjoy just cruising around in my camper from one hot spot to the next. The snow in Colorado has been sh!t for like the last 6-8 years and the crowds are insane - over it. This is the year I am selling both my houses - both houses have tripled in valued since purchased and I own both houses outright so I should net a little over $2.5 million in cash once sold. I think the housing market is going to collapse in the next 12 months and I am going fully nomad - part-time in my camper and part-time traveling internationally to check off my bucket list of travel spots. Stoked!
Taking road trips in the summer and snowboarding trips in the spring gave us a skewed perspective. My older son said he would live in Crested Butte after riding this:
But we never went during winter. After a week of snowboarding in Utah, they start to get bored. In addition, housing prices are just as inflated as near the coast.

I lived in Park City full time for ten years after escaping the NYC grind. Raised two groms and put them through the freestyle program and consistently skied ~160 days a year between lifts and backcountry. For me I was able to score more quality waves living a better schedule and traveling then when I lived relatively close to fickle surf. I still have a home in Utah but prices have soared and it's definitely not small town living anymore. Like many places it has been "discovered" so I have not been spending as much time there.
I'm looking at undeveloped land in MT adjacent to a land conservancy
I would like to be somewhere in eastern sierra, but fk paying CA taxes and getting something on the NV side is proving costly
