Three Reasons I'm Grateful to Be in Colorado

Millions of people visit Colorado every year. There is something addicting about the cool and crisp mountain air, the beautiful mountains, and all the outdoor activity the state provides. I can't help but feel fortunate and privileged to live here.

1. Copper Mountain - Whether you are visiting in the winter for skiing and riding, or in the summer for hiking and biking. One thing is certain; this mountain has activity for everyone. For skiing and riding, the mountain is naturally divided to separate expert ski and riders from the beginners.

This was a my first season to snowboard and not only did I feel safe boarding at my own pace, but I also had the opportunity to improve on my riding each week on the wide and groomed green trails.

Along with the terrain, the ski and ride school was second to none. Whether you decide to take a group or private lesson, the instructors are eager to make your time productive and fun. For the summer, the mountain provides activities that include golf, cycling, free chair lift rides, hiking, climbing wall, and bungee jump.

2. Cool Crisp Mountain Air - Colorado boasts 300 sunny days a year. Colorado's climate is simply amazing. Whether you visit in the winter or summer, you can expect the weather to be glorious. Despite the spring being a bit short, Colorado's four seasons are sure to amaze. There is always a good time to visit.

3. Outdoor Activity - With the amazing weather, there is no shortage of outdoor activity. Let's see if I can list them all: Hiking, Biking, Camping, Fishing, Golfing, Skiing, Riding, Whitewater Rafting, and Snowshoeing to list a few. Colorado ranks as one of the fittest states in the country. I'm inspired everyday to stay healthy to participate in the activities that I love.

What are you waiting for? Your Colorado adventure is waiting for you. Come and enjoy your favorite outdoor activity against the beautiful back drop of the Rocky Mountains, with sunny skies no less.
