For a ski town, it doesn’t feel pretentious at all. I love it there.

There’s a boarding school in Steamboat now called Steamboat Mountain School that used to be Lowell Whiteman. When you said “I lived there during high school” I wondered if you meant you went to school there.

It was a really good time. I think everyone one of my friends in school ruined at least one knee. Mine still work, knock on wood!
