Most people think of Colorado and think "snow". But that is only the high country. Living in the front range or west of Denver is like living in a vacation land. Over 300 sunny days a year (you don't know what it's like NOT to have sun until you come here), practically zero humidity and beautiful mountains to gaze at all day long. 30 degrees here is not like 30 degrees to the east. You barely need a jacket. Whenever we visit family and friends back east, I can't wait to come home. I have become "soft". When I am east, I miss the sun, I miss the dryness and I can't stand all the bugs and rain that goes with it. We only get 12 inches of rain here in Denver. The rest is snow. And the amazing part is that one day it is cold enough to snow but the next it is 20 degrees warmer so it all melts. It is snow you can enjoy - rarely messes up driving and is just beautiful on the trees.
And skiing on fresh powder is a huge improvement over the icey slopes back east too. If you ever get a chance, please come visit. You will love it.
