In some aspects, this is a dreamy little mountain town that is still humble and has still retained character. But with booming house prices, an increasing amount of second homeowners, and more tourists, what will we do when we run out of land to build upon, and what is the future of our little box canyon?

The Plum crew followed locals to Denver for the Colorado Supreme Court hearing on the future of the valley floor that took place Jan. 22.

There, the Town of Telluride and SMVC stated their opinions about the Town of Telluride's authority to acquire the valley through the process of eminent domain. The court's decision probably won't be announced for two to four months, but this is what some of the attendees had to say on the issue.
