Montana Gets 'Aspenized'
7 September 2000 - 8:30am
Even the farthest corners of rural West are getting 'Aspenized'.
The Yellowstone Club, being built in rural Montana, limits membership to 900 families. It is intended to be a place where celebrities can enjoy peace and quiet away from the hassles of paparazzi and perpetual hounding. To some Montana residents, the club is an example of how remote corners of this friendly state are becoming "Aspenized". But this summer, as fire threatened to turn the club to ash, the people of nearby Big Sky, Mont., have had to struggle with a question of conscience: Should they reach out to help the neighbors who normally would hold them at arm's length?
