Did not live there. My dad and uncle bought a condominium from the blue prints in Snowmass Villiage around 1971 or '72, and we would go out there once a winter to ski, and I would go out during the summer for various activities. We still own it today, but don't utilize as much, and because of the economy, the rentals haven't really been offsetting the annual assessments, so we are thinking about selling it.-that is, my sisters and I. I had many fun times there, especially in the summer.
