Ahh Colorado. That Western mindset that bigger is always better. You can have Vail and acres of fun sking with people in Bogners on rather mediocre terrain. It was nice 20 years ago I hear.
It's got some nice parts, and parts I'd like to spend more time. Not my cup of tea right now, but still a fun place. The biggest downside to Boulder (and Colorado) are the idiots that think it's the greatest, most special and unique snowflake place on earth. It's not. There are pleny o' places similar.
