It’s crazy to reach the point where I might be leaving home here in BR. The wife (no pics) is saying that the Western slope doesn’t have enough trees and that it’s too cold. The daughter (no pics) is fired up about leaving the hot weather.
Have any of you guys lived on the Western Slope? How were you able to make the transition to cold weather?

Subtle “I’m employable” brag

Just tell the wife to buy warmer clothes. I'd rather live in Telluride than anywhere in the South. I think the altitude would be a bigger adjustment than the cold for me.

Congrats on making it out

What kind of profession takes you from BR to Telluride?
Posted on 10/19/20 at 9:28 pm to Vastmind
Telluride is awesome. Good luck!

I just lived in Telluride during the summer. Had to GTFO before it got snowed in.

that’s not an area with a surplus of housing stock.
have you looked at a possible place to live?
we might run in different circles but the few people I know who live/have lived in telluride lived in a van

You’re moving in your Kia?

Telluride is kind of my adopted second home. I was there two weeks ago and always hate leaving. The area is just amazing.
The winters aren’t as bad as some might think.. as long as the sun is out;)
P.S. Eat at Rustico.

Great place to go. Have family there and Durango. When my times comes in 7 years, I’m hitting the Eject button. Will have Uhaul and cars gassed up and ready to go the moment I walk out the office doors for the last time. If you go and interview there, you’re not going to want to come home. Bring warm clothes, fly rod, and Glock in 10mm.

Great town. I would also check out Ourey and Ridgway. Montrose is rather a good size city but seems kinda meh. I’ve heard that Grand Junction is growing.

Telluride itself is beautiful, but that part of Colorado is really isolated. I’d love to live in the area, but women are hard to predict. The wife and daughter might grow tired of the area after a year or two.

Retail hospital?

I have spent a lot of time working in a resort then. Telluride has a colol vibe, but beware that it is very liberal and just full if ski bums. I would love to live in a resort town, particularly during the summer. Be damn shure you check out the cost of living difference very well...the difference is staggering.

I’ve personally never been where you are talking about moving to on the western slope. I’ve lived by Pike’s Peak though and it was hard on us. School was always starting late due to inclement weather and both of us had professional jobs that wanted you to show up to work on time. I believe you stated you had a two wheel drive truck. That’s totally useless in that state. AWD and four wheel drive trucks are so much easier to get around in. At least a front wheel drive vehicle. I found the cold to be tolerable. It wasn’t a humid cold but it sucked when the wind would pick up. Hell I’d move up there and if you don’t like it you can always move somewhere else on down the road.

I could never live there personally, but great to visit. Beautiful in the summer.
But something about being stuck in a small mountain town in the winter just doesn't rock my boat.
