KCFR News looks at the labor and housing crunch in Aspen, Pitkin County, and the Roaring Fork Valley.

In the first of a three-part series, Ryan Warner talks to Debbie Braun, president of the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, Jim Laing, vice president for human resources at the Aspen Skiing Company, and Joe DiSalvo, undersheriff for Pitkin County.
