New Documentary Highlights Mental Health Crisis in Colorado

Mountain towns, particularly in the Rocky Mountains, are grappling with a mental health crisis despite their picturesque allure, as highlighted in the documentary 'The Paradise Paradox'. These towns have reported some of the highest suicide rates in the nation, with 17 deaths in 2017 alone, prompting discussions about the challenges faced by residents. In contrast, ski resorts across Europe are being ranked for their beauty and social media popularity, with Avoriaz topping the list for its stunning views and engagement on platforms like Instagram. The Post Office Travel Money report reveals that Italy offers the best value for skiing this winter, with Bardonecchia and Passo Tonale leading in affordability for adults and families, respectively. Despite rising costs in many ski destinations, options remain for budget-conscious travelers, especially in Italy and Bulgaria. Lastly, skiing in France is noted for its unique culture and comparatively lower pass prices, making it a favored choice among North American tourists.
