We love it. It's beautiful and there is so much to do. The weather is pretty awesome. It's been raining a lot more than usual, but it's helped keep the drought away this year. It's usually in the 50s-60s at night and 70-80s during the day with afternoon to late evening showers right now. It was snowing when we got up there in April, but it wasnt unbearable. I was wearing a thin sweater and shorts. The dry air makes a big difference. Make the move...you will love it.
Ditto. I live in North Colorado near Fort Collins. The air is super dry. 85 and sunny is very comfortable. It's the same for winter. Folks from the NE US rave about how the winters here are not as bad due to the low humidity.
Weather is bi-polar. It can be 16 degrees below zero one minute, hail like a mother fricker the next, wind like a hurricane, tumbleweed storms, but the default is always sunny, clear, beautiful. We love it.
Oddly, I found the people MORE friendly than those in the south. I was surprised at how nice and genuinely happy folks are here.
It's a little rowdy, a little frontier, a little conservative and progressive. More liquor store per capita, I believe. Worth a try.

Yeah the people are definitely very cool. Everyone is very nice and hospitable. Everyone just seems to love being there. It's so beautiful it's hard to not be in a good mood. I love west on highway 24 in woodland park which is about 15 minutes from the Springs but we're building a house in the Springs. There's a lot of stuff to do. You could do something every weekend and not do or go to the same place twice. If you have kids, the Cheyenne Mountain zoo is top notch. It's open 365 days a year and the membership is cheap. I found it to be nicer than Audubon zoo. There's also some very awesome hiking very close to the zoo in Cheyenne mountain. Helen Hunt Falls is bad arse. Garden of the Gods is awesome, Manitou Springs is also a really cool little town. Pikes Peak highway is a killer drive. You won't regret moving up there if you make the choice. We love it.
