That's surprising. I see $120 steaks on the menu in Las Vegas restaurants. Why not at the ski resort?
> million dollar winter dachas
Perhaps because the alternative to a $120 restaurant steak is buying nice groceries and cooking at the dacha?

Dunno, but if you've figured out why, you should get in touch with the guys in this article. https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/how-to-save-a-ski-town-west-tourism-economy/ https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/how-to-...
- zamnos 4y agoThe problem isn't ski resorts per se, it's that Crested Butte, CO isn't Aspen, where they do have $145 steakhouses. People who like to ski/snowboard aren't all millionaires who don't mind paying $145 for steak and are only renting a place for a week via AirBNB and the lift passes are expensive these days. Give Crested Butte time to gentrify (no one goes to Aspen any more, there are too many people there) and things should top out. More expensive than it was before, but hey, inflation.
