"Your motto is "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes""

never heard that about colorado, stop stealing things from new england.
 
Yeah, ok. This is a mark twain quote about New England, you fool. New England weather is worse, and half the shit on this list can be applied to any state that experiences winter.
 
you know you're from newschoolers when
-someone posts a mildly entertaining list and everyone tears them to shreds
 
the most important one is how you pronounce it.

if you are from colorado you say coloraaaado

if you are not you say colorahhdo

dead give away
 
Colorado sports fan like whatever team when are winningworst fair-weather fans ever
 
this list fails.

oh lololol the weather changes a lot and its snows where i live ololol im so different and unique.
 
I bet you its 100X harder to forecast the weather in CO than it is in New England. Its also implying that you can literally have 4 seasons in one day in CO. I should of known that NS would get all butt hurt at a fun list. Some of you fools need anger management or something.
 
i know the quote is from new england, but having grown up in VT and CT and now living in CO the weather definitely changes faster in CO.
 
haha i know it just snowed this morning and was 28 degrees, now all the snow is melted and it is about 70 degrees.
 
first of all, people in the CO arent bitches. CO is better than NE no questions asked. Lastly your weather cycle is like goliath compared to our david, well cut your head off.
 
my addition to it would be you know your from colorado when you dont know what half this shit is cuz u live in an isolated mtn valley miles from nowhere except badass skiing.

This list should be called you know your from the denver/boulder when...

u know your from denver when you think you can drive in snow but cant for shit

you know your from denver if you think an hour drive to ski is "quick"

u know you ski summit county when a not busy day means the line is only barely out of the maze

you know your from colorado and not from the front range when you know that the best skiing isnt on i70 resorts

 
loveland is not great skiing, its decent but not great. Ive just about gotten frost bite on my balls skiing there. Got so fed up with how bad the conditions were that day I drove over the pass and went to keystone for the afternoon so I wouldnt have rails falling over on me once i got on them. loveland is dangerous ha.

Loveland is pretty good, vail is flat (by my standards) but still fun on pow days.

my point is there are less people, people tend to be nicer, the terrain is as good or better than you'll find almost anywhere (think CB silverton telluride) better snow, and much better backcountry access. not to mention there are less gapers.

also its not a fashion show like Key and breck are, people are there to ski not look steezy. granted the parks are better in summit county, but id take sick terrain over sick parks anyday (even when the snow is only ok).

 
I really enjoy Wolf Creek. As for Loveland, you have to know where to ski. It really does have good skiing there.
