>Lots of outdoorsy people move to places like Colorado, Montana, Wyoming for hiking, camping, etc. This one is interesting. I spent 2 months in a ski town in western canada this winter. The classic story of ski towns is that many, many people would love to live there (often so much as to create a housing problem) but the only jobs are in restaurants, hotels, bars. I've heard of a trained mechanical engineer working 3 years as a town tour guide until she landed an actual engineering gig for the local hydro company. The microbrewery in town is owned by a trained nuclear physicist who really just wanted to live in the mountains and still make a living. If you're in a nice place for nature, do try and market to the outdoorsy crowd, I think there's a good few engineers in there.
