I guess Denver is booming like crazy and the level of people skiing and heading to the mountains is bonkers.

I last skied in Colorado pre-pandemic, but even then it was nuts how busy it was.
I think there are two reasons.
1. There are 4.5 million people that live in the front ranges (Denver, fort collins, boulder) so 3x the people.
2. There are so many vacation homes at / near ski hills it makes weekends skiing so much easier. It's like if we had 20 Canmore's within 3 hrs of Calgary serving 10+ ski resorts. This means more people skiing multiple days on weekends.
