My girlfriend and my friend and I are planning on moving to Colorado in January. Our ages are 21, 23, and 23. We are from central California on the coast. we are looking to rent, and we have a monthly limit roughly around $2,500 a month, maybe a little more if its worth the money. we are visiting Colorado in a month to get a look in person of the place. we are looking for a clean nice place to live that has a good amount of snow fall. house or apartment is fine house is preferred. more privacy and trees the better. thank you for the responses in advanced

Pick one. Then search our many threads on the towns with heaviest snowfall.

David, where in Colorado are you planning to move to? You mention a rental budget and a desire for a "good amount of snowfall". But there's something missing here -- are you going to be working? Where you end up living is dependent upon where you will be working, and you'll need to narrow that down more than just somewhere in Colorado.

As mentioned beauty and trees = low paid ski bum. Want a good paying job welcome to the concrete jungle. Get the ski pass $500? and rip every run.

Ok perfect spot in my mind for you. Nice part of Golden closer to ski actually unless x country if you can stretch maybe? Evergreen. I say that because you are close to the best ski resorts but all the amenities that Denver offers.

CS has no ski resort so that would be the worst in that respect. But frankly CS, to me, is military and conservative mostly with great mountains, but you could live for a winter in Pagosa Springs rather well on that money rather well.

Wolf Creek, I loved, been awhile reasonable and if you trek it Telluride or Perg? hours west.

I am sure some can chime in on those points.

Does your biz need a lot of bandwidth CenturyTel, Clink is DSL slowish to my taste, but it meets basic need. That could be a small issue in Pagosa. Durango is more upscale.

Too far IMO. Former co-worker year round pass 4 wheel Cherokee 2 hours each way back road to A basin or Keystone, Vail would be another 40 minutes. Steamboat? 3 hours. Wolf Creek is 3-4 hours 40m min east of Pagosa.

Get the pass for $530 I noticed yesterday? Otherwise about $90 visit or more. Gawd Vail parking is what $12 people LOL. But hey they got hankies LOL.

Supposedly they/CS had one but closed it years ago
