re: I’m going for a work interview in the Telluride area next week

I lived in Durango for over a year and have gone back to Ridgway a couple of times a year for the past 16 years. Great place to visit but you might be in for some culture shock. It is ridiculously liberal, although the dude that owns the nudie hot springs is a rabid Trump supporter. Six months of winter and limited daylight was tough. The wife hated it. All the women there were real crunchy and she wasnt in to unshaven legs and pits. Might need to really consider your current lifestyle and make sure that culture swing would be a good fit.
