so I don't know how many people are avoiding the ski resorts in the winter or the state's stark beauty in the summer. All I've seen so far are articles citing first a return to pre pandemic levels then to record breaking high levels during the Biden administration.

I imagine that the longer the dumpster fire in Washington continues, the fewer happy talk articles we'll see around here. I imagine buyers will swoop into Santa Fe for the Spanish and Indian markets and then swoop out to tourist destinations in Canada and points south. I certainly won't blame them for that.
