Like the title says, what are some cities that have snowy winters but are not gray/gloomy during winter? I love snow but I can't stand endless gloomy days during winter. Are there any places like this?

Doesn't Boise suffer from the fog inversion that keeps it very hazy? |

Flagstaff, AZ. One of the 10 snowiest cities in the lower 48, and yet it's known more for sunshine, and rightly so. I spend some wonderful years there.
Western mountain areas in general, but within that context, inland and southerly will be better.
New England to a lesser extent.

Minneapolis is LESS cloudy than places further East in the winter......but not as much as Denver or places out West. But it's a good Midwest option if you prefer the Midwest.

Denver is one city I've seriously considered moving to after undergrad.

Denver is definitely a sunny city. I would also recommend Flagstaff too.
