>>2822421yeah well true outdoorsmen measure shit by hours spent outdoors not seasonal vacations
CO/the rest of the southwest is unique in the fact that you can do winter activities and access mild winter climate by simply reducing your elevation, and in the summer you can simply escape the heat by going up in elevation. You are always within driving distance of a place experiencing perfect seasonality. 365 days per year.
I get more hours of outside and sunshine in Colorado than I do just about anywhere else, without dying of heatstroke
A place like Montana, sure, you have a two or three month window where it's superior, but not year-round.
