"The foreign ban is only for high density areas."

Is this correct ?

Under these new laws a foreigner can still purchase farm, or ranch land or, for instance, a ski chalet in Golden ?

Asking for a friend ...

There's an exception for "any residential property found outside of a Census Metropolitan Area or Census Agglomeration as identified in Statistics Canada’s Standard Geographical Classification 2021."

I've not looked at a map to see how much area that covers, but it sounds like foreign buyers could still purchase rural properties.
