> these resorts were built before AirBnB

Ever heart of VRBO (est. 1995) or the entire VRMA (est. 1985)?

There’s a reason airbnb is the recognized brand being discussed. Yes, competitors have existed before. But Airbnb made it popular, easy, and safe enough for any random person. Pre-airbnb scale of VRBO was barely a blip on the hotel market.

Crested Butte was incorporated in 1880.

Crested Butte Mountain, the ski resort, opened in 1960.
