A pretentious world?

Living in a ski town is a fascinating experience. I won’t count the years during which we lived in an Alpine ski town, and will solely focus on our twenty year plus, Park City experience. Over that time period, many people from diverse backgrounds have flocked into town and grown the population. Some are great and some are a bit too concerned with their image; from the car they drive, to the house they live in, what they do or how they’ve done, or how they see themselves in that little mountain community.

It is therefore refreshing that not everyone falls in that latter category. These other folks are of course the most enjoyable and most open you wish to run into and interact with. They get interested in others instead of themselves, they remember how to laugh and they stay humble. In their presence, there’s very little need for competition and it’s possible to be yourself; what a concept!
