I have been there before in my early twenties I dated a girl in college and her dad owned smaller banks. I went with her one summer along with her parents and we stayed somewhere up there in the mountains. Looks like it has grown substantially because I don't remember seeing all those resorts. When we were up there I do remember everybody was pretty damn wealthy. Generational wealth and wealth from other countries.
I was shocked to see houses are really in the 10-20 million dollar range, very few for less than 5 million unless you can get a condo or townhouse, they are still 1 million plus! Before my visit I thought a person could get something average for 2-5 million. Must have been fun to be there back then, was the ski area even that big, I feel like it has grown over the years?
@AmericanOutbackAmazing yeah man the wealth is on a completely different frequency than the rest of society. This area caters to wealth. Walk outside your door and walk 30 ft to a resident only gondola that'll take you to the top of the mountain. If that's not leisure I don't know what is
I just did some research, the area has 9 private lifts just servicing various housing communities! The are purple on the maps and only residents may use them.
@@AmericanOutbackAmazing oh you're a researcher just like me. I spent about an hour on Google Maps last night looking around this area they have built all over this area

theres a youtuber who has an instagram and one of their posts shows that they were in big sky when it was very snowy and there was a horse behind them
but i watch that RUclipsr sometimes
I would love to be there in the snow!
It’s too expense for all but the 1%
I think all mountain towns now are only for the top 1%, 30-40 years ago it wasn't that bad.
@ you can still get a nice Cabin in Big Bear, CA for 400k.
@@AmericanOutbackAmazing Yep! And they say money can't buy happiness- sheesh!
Money and freedom buy happiness! Along with good people :)
That is amazing, Big Bear was always a fun place to visit.
