The culture is an amplified Banff, there's people of all types. Pricey? You bet. But there's ways around it.

I lived in Whistler for months at a time in school and have hundreds of days on hill there. It's a fantastic ski resort, and an absolutely abysmal place to live if you're older than 25. Your perspective on Whistler is basically like saying you'd want to live in Disneyland. Trust me, if you're there for a week, yeah, you get to have a bunch of fun riding all the rides, but after a month, it is like a black hole of fake touristy culture. It's not even a ski town, it's like a bad TV drama's idea of a ski town.
You could pay me to live in Whistler. But I'd spend most of my downtime somewhere else.

You're probably right, but Vail still absolutely sucks. I suspect it just managed to cement itself as "rich people's ski town" a long time ago and has been riding that since.
