October in Colorado

So in a previous post I mentioned to ugliness of Summit County due to the fact that all of our trees are dying! I still believe that it is not the most beautiful place in the world, but my thoughts have changed a bit.
Kimberly and I went camping with some friends a couple of weekends ago and the nature of our area is much more beautiful than previously thought. Granted there are only three colors here (orange, red, and deep yellow), but they are so vibrant.
Growing up in New England has given me a bias that I will never outgrow. I do not think you can find a more beautiful place in all the world (at least to my knowledge) for the foliage season.
There are so many more colors there, but I now live in Colorado, and I am happy with where I live.
Something that Colorado does have over New England is the skiing. We have had a bit of snow here, and nothing really has stuck except on the tip tops of the larger mountains. Skiing here is amazing. I grew up skiing in New Hampshire, but I never really understood the awesomeness of the sport until I moved here last year. I am very excited for the new season and lots of free skiing...that is a great perk to working for a ski resort!
