Queenstown Lakes Mayor Jim Boult (left) rededicated the "Aspen Leaf'' on the Village Green in Queenstown with Aspen Mayor Steve Skadron. It was originally erected 25 years ago.
Mr Skadron is in town this week to share ideas and discuss similarities and issues the resort destinations have in common - with worker accommodation being of particular interest.
Despite this being his first trip to Queenstown, he is already aware of the challenges the resort faces.
``I've said a number of times in my community we have unlimited desirability and a limited capacity to satisfy it and as we protect our values we become even more popular, which makes it a whole other set of problems.
``So we're trying to manage all those things and I think you guys are dealing with the same issues.''
