Paperback. In 1936, a railroad heir needed a ski resort. He found a dying sheep town in Idaho with good snow and a convenient mountain, saved it without quite meaning to, and set in motion ninety years of consequences that the people living those consequences did not choose and could not have anticipated.One Road In begins with a two-word telegram and ends with a housing waitlist 1,100 names long. In between, it traces the full arc of what happens when money discovers a beautiful place: the celebrities who came first, the ski bums who invented the service economy, the moment in 1977 when a Utah businessman paid $12 million for a ski resort in a county where median household income was under $15,000 a year, and the planning commission meetings that have been running four hours and producing motions to study the matter further for approximately forty-five years.This is a book about Sun Valley, Idaho, but not really. It is about the mechanism - the sequence by which an extraordinary place attracts people with the means to be where they want, whose presence raises prices, whose raised prices push out the people whose labor makes the place function, until what remains is a very high-quality amenity staffed by people who commute in from somewhere else and drive home before you wake up. That mechanism does not care about the scenery. It is currently operating in Nashville and Brooklyn and Austin and every mid-sized American city recently discovered by remote workers and capital in search of a cheaper place to land. The scenery just determines how fast it runs. Beautiful places run it faster.What Sun Valley adds to this story is time. The resort town is fifty years ahead of the country on this particular curve, which means it has the history, the data, and the hard-won institutional knowledge - the housing authorities, the land trusts, the people who show up to the meetings year after year and lose more often than they win and keep showing up anyway - that the rest of the country is about to need.Reported from sixty interviews and eight years of living inside the system it describes, One Road In is economic history, narrative nonfiction, and the work of a writer who taught skiing to the people changing the town while writing about the people being changed by it - a position that is either a conflict of interest or the only honest vantage point available, and possibly both.The resort town is not the story. It is where you go to read the ending before it happens to you. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

In 1936, a railroad heir needed a ski resort. He found a dying sheep town in Idaho with good snow and a convenient mountain, saved it without quite meaning to, and set in motion ninety years of consequences that the people living those consequences did not choose and could not have anticipated.
One Road In begins with a two-word telegram and ends with a housing waitlist 1,100 names long. In between, it traces the full arc of what happens when money discovers a beautiful place: the celebrities who came first, the ski bums who invented the service economy, the moment in 1977 when a Utah businessman paid $12 million for a ski resort in a county where median household income was under $15,000 a year, and the planning commission meetings that have been running four hours and producing motions to study the matter further for approximately forty-five years.
This is a book about Sun Valley, Idaho, but not really. It is about the mechanism — the sequence by which an extraordinary place attracts people with the means to be where they want, whose presence raises prices, whose raised prices push out the people whose labor makes the place function, until what remains is a very high-quality amenity staffed by people who commute in from somewhere else and drive home before you wake up. That mechanism does not care about the scenery. It is currently operating in Nashville and Brooklyn and Austin and every mid-sized American city recently discovered by remote workers and capital in search of a cheaper place to land. The scenery just determines how fast it runs. Beautiful places run it faster.
What Sun Valley adds to this story is time. The resort town is fifty years ahead of the country on this particular curve, which means it has the history, the data, and the hard-won institutional knowledge — the housing authorities, the land trusts, the people who show up to the meetings year after year and lose more often than they win and keep showing up anyway — that the rest of the country is about to need.
Reported from sixty interviews and eight years of living inside the system it describes, One Road In is economic history, narrative nonfiction, and the work of a writer who taught skiing to the people changing the town while writing about the people being changed by it — a position that is either a conflict of interest or the only honest vantage point available, and possibly both.
The resort town is not the story. It is where you go to read the ending before it happens to you.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
