Winter in Colorado

Colorado. Say it and a great many people think "snow". And with good reason. Colorado snow is world famous - soft, fluffy, dry, incredible powder that falls in staggering amounts many years. You won't find ice runs here. Winter is the season when Fourteener Country's location really pays off. The surrounding high mountains offer some of the best snow conditions in the west. But wait... this area isn't called the "Banana Belt" for nothing. The same mountains that make Fourteener Country a winter sports paradise also protect the valleys below, making it both warmer and drier than surrounding areas.
