I don't have a single bad thing to say about Park City. I hope to visit some day. I was just wondering if it was different than the other amenity-rich towns of the American West. I am not the least bit psychic, but I have seen the pattern I described in Aspen, Boulder, Bozeman, Durango, Jackson Hole, Santa Fe, Tahoe, Bend, Winthrop, Telluride, Sedona, Flagstaff, Coeur d' Alene, Mount Shasta, Eureka, Bellingham, Port Townsend, and of course, my home town of Ashland, Oregon. It seems like they are all small and so sought after by coastal types with big $$$ that the locals have been usurped by a rather predictable exurban culture. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't really want to deal with it. Way too much $$$ for a rather boring social millieu, IMO. I would rather find a place with longer term roots to its region, some historical character, and a degree of affordability than another outdoor mecca trolling for rich immigrants and trustafarians.
Yep you are pretty much right on with your assessment imo. I have lived in boulder, and in SLC. I personally didn't find much to yahoo about in Park City. I never lived there, but wouldn't ever want to either. It's too homogenous for my tastes and in contrast to boulder, PC seems quite dead in the off season, like, really really dead, imo.

I live up in park city for 18 years and love it. the winter time it gets alive and people come from all over the world to visit. yah it a rich town and in the summer time it gets better more people that you know you see more like in stores. i live in Glenwild and a lot of people drive nice cars around here in the winter to but u can live here if you have a crap car to. so if u don't like me driving my Aston Martin in the snow [mod] rude [/mod] because that is one of my winter car's.
