Paul,
Its the same way today. Aspen is where the rich and famous go, Vail likewise. In the summer you will find some "regular people" there but still not a whole lot. The approach to Vail is not as rugged but still, its not for the faint of heart. There is a very tall mountain right off the end of the runway West of the airport.
Last time I flew up there in a piston/prop plane it was in a Cessna C-210. Otherwise for me its all been jets there.
