OP is just looking for excuses to be mad. Here's the real reason Colorado sucks:
Coloradans (and Utards) are the worst consoomers when it comes to outdoor activities. "Oh you love the outdoors? What are your favorite brands?" -- That's essentially every conversation I've had with these 5-panel-hat-wearing cardiobunny zombies since I made the spurious decision to move out here. Going outdoors is an act of consumption here, not an act of desire or of spirituality. No I don't know what brand my skis are, I got them at a yard sale when I was 16. Ditto for my bike. Or
>>2788956 "You want to go nicer places, just buy a better car, lol" I bet you drive a matte orange crosstrek, you creep.
I live in one of the "beautiful" areas in Colorado. All the forests are diseased or shitty mono-culture. All dispersed camping spots and trailheads are choked up with van lifers and their feces; I preferred pre-pandemic when it was just the crackheads. Other than the southwestern desert, nothing in this state can be considered beautiful if you have been anywhere else in the Rockies, or spent 5 minutes in a sycamore forest in Connecticut.
