...nearby swamps, and especially since the ski runs and condos began going up, the forests can hardly be called primeval. But Crested Butte, Colo. (pop. 1,200), has no shortage of righteous men, or women. Largely young and well educated, many of them exiles from the crowded East, they are determined to preserve their town's picture-book alpine charm. Tucked away in a sparsely settled 8,885-ft.-high valley, 25 miles south of Aspen as the eagle flies (but 217 miles by paved mountain roads), Crested Butte is an exurbanite's spiritual El Dorado: a 19th...

There is a funny-brutal pentathlon of alpine sports: cross-country skiing with hired assassins; a two-man ski jump with the competitors gouging each other in midair; downhill racing at gunpoint; a bobsled run on skis; ice hockey using players as pucks.

Said Los Angeles Carpenter Howard Bogaz, 25, while roller-skating on the colorful Venice, Calif., strand: "I use it while I'm working, I take it when I ski or on long drives. I'm into my music! The sun is out, the wind is blowing, and you're on your wheels...
...Montgomery, complete with a 19-room Georgian mansion, a swimming pool, stables and magnolia trees. The bright red hair that earned him the nickname of his youth is now sparse and streaked with gray, but the strapping, 6-ft. 2-in. Blount keeps trim with frequent tennis matches and ski trips to Vail, Colo. On jaunts to visit construction sites around the U.S., he sometimes personally pilots one of his company's three de Havilland jets...
