I read the beginning of your website. I’m sorry that you encountered locals here that were rude. I work in Breckenridge & live in Fairplay. We love Spring Breakers & Texans. The town sort of comes to life! My friends, co-workers & everyone I know try to treat Spring Breakers like locals & answer any questions (locations of restaurants, ski shops, buses). I hope you don’t run into those rude people next time !!

Such snobbery toward touristas would have been an unthinkable luxury back when their ancestors were surviving by scratching copper, silver and lead out of the ground and should be ignored. Wealthy tourists and gadflies drop BILLIONS of dollars per year in these otherwise godforsaken places that due to a happy accident of nature happen to attract them and their money. Current economic conditions, along with a growing popularity of snow sports are driving the growth in these areas, but good times are fleeting, and tourists fickle. If you interfere too much in this industry, they might just all decide to go elsewhere. and then the snobs will be sorry.

Good point. I live in Canada and the people that live in the tourist destinations there are much the same. however when ever i travel to places like Mexico or another tropical “poorer” destination everyone there treats you like a king. The only place in america that treats you this way is Vegas and that goes with out saying
