State-wide laws don't help you much when Jackson Hole, Tahoe, Deer Valley, and Aspen are all in different states (and Whistler and Mont Tremblant are nearby in another country).

Are skiers visiting Aspen primarily from within Colorado or outside? The ones who have to fly in anyway, they can pretty easily fly into a different resort that gives them the resort experience rather than the "packed into hotels" experience.
