I was watching my daughter's team play Steamboat and hanging out with some of the 'boat parents and they used that line in response to my bitching about Aspen costs. They are not wrong.
Speaking of which I grabbed some take out for my boy from Meat and Cheese the other night---they have doubled prices in the past 2.5 years. Wow. Begging customers to keep them afloat during Covid they have repaid our loyalty with eye watering prices. I obviously haven't eaten there in years and now don't plan to. It was one of my favorite restaurants but not its not good value anymore. Another fav, Ale house at Aspen highlands (a bar where you order your food from the bar, they give you a number to put on your table, and someone from the kitchen drops the food in front of you) has added and 18% server tip, a 5% tip for the kitchen and I believe a 10% charge for worker housing. So the burger that lists for $23 actually costs $30.59 (plus taxes). Basically its a $33 burger of eh quality in a bar with no real service. Or you can spend $23 (total) for a BLT panini at the T-Bar in Steamboat and have $10 left over to buy $4 16 oz PBR cans. GO STEAMBOAT
