I'm not really sure. I guess most people think of Alaska as cold and wintry, and my town is a well-known destination among skiers/snowboarders, but most tourists come here in the summer and never see any of that.
Would have to be summer, for the same reasons as Sydney.
Lots of world champion surfers have come out of this area too, although they go into the water year round.
Denver is definitely associated with winter because of the proximity to the mountains and snow.
It seems a bit much; I have a friend who lived in Colorado for a few years who said the winters are mild and sunny. My image of Denver isn't cold and snowbound; I think it's a mismatch. And until looking up weather stats, I assume Denver wasn't very snowy since it's semi-arid and the Plains in general has dry winters.

I agree, Denver is mild and sunny, but people have a misconception when it comes to Denver. While it's true we get snow till end of April to mid-May on average, it has snowed as late as June 3rd. But this is all snow that melts quickly and usually comes at night when temps go down. But because of those stats, most people think Denver as cold and snowy.

Well she said the weather's so much nicer in Colorado; thought the winters were much better than in the northeast. And sunny not dreary.
My thought: doesn't Massachusetts have enough sun!
The northeast is much drearier than Denver in general. When I went there in December several years ago it was 60 F and sunny. It was dry and brown too. Pretty boring actually, but at least it snows in the mountains frequently. Of course it was a short visit, but that was my experience.
Sunny and dry mostly come to mind when I picture Denver, but I also think about the changeable weather. Sunny and 70 F one day, a blizzard a couple days later.

Internationally, Australia is the land of eternal sunshine and heat. Whilst this isn't entirely true, warmth dominates for the majority of the year in most places. Even "cool" cities such as Canberra, Melbourne and Hobart are warm on a global scale, and cold stereotypes associated with these cities are only known within Australia and purported by Australians. Our major weather events are all warm weather types (heatwaves, cyclones, bushfires, floods and drought).
Therefore, all Australian cities (most definitely Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Darwin) are synonymous with summer. The only places synonymous with winter are the ski resorts, which aren't internationally known by any stretch.
