Winter sucks anywhere...except maybe in the tropical zones. I'd rather live through winter in Bailey than the metro area any day.

It actually stays warmer up here during the really cold spells than it does in Denver. Frequently during the arctic cold snaps the cold air layer is too shallow to make it up this high.

I can't tell you the number of times I've left Bailey when it was sunny and 40-something only to get down to Denver where it's cloudy and 10 degrees.
