Big Balls, it's true, this place sucks. I suggest you check out Colorado. I hear it's nice.
Is he gone yet? Cool. Seems like whichever of our smokin' hot local ladies turned him down and got him all angry did the SV area a favor, (note to self - find her, buy her beer)., because that kind of attitude wouldn't really fit in well here.
I've lived in the Wood River Valley for a decade, and the people here that I know, are the kindest, most supportive, and friendliest people I've ever met anywhere.
Do we have a few d-bags?
Sure.
So does every other town in America (Imagine being from NYC, they have to claim TRUMP as one of theirs). Mostly though, those people don't stay. Because it's expensive, and hard to make a living, and the fly fishing, mountain biking, and Nordic skiing are only the second or third best in the country (not really, but saying that keeps the hoards away).:cool:
Also, our mountains are flat, un-inspiring, and snowless. Case in point (all taken in the last two weeks) -

I wouldn't take my word for it though, come up here and give us a chance to prove the OP wrong.
P.S. Big Balls can call us douches, but I take exception to him calling our local kids the same. I've had the pleasure of being a ski team coach here for 9 years, and the kids I know are without exception, polite, engaged, humble and inspiring.
