Okay, we admit this is not a usual Denver winter. With warm temperatures and sunny skies our Denver loft and condo residents are enjoying this season as if it were... well.... summer. The road bikes are out, joggers are lining the Cherry Creek trails in light running gear, and there isn't a trace of snow to be seen.
Fortunately, Denver condo and loft residents still have plenty of holiday lights to give us the holiday spirit. Not sure where in downtown Denver to go looking for holiday lights? We found this great Holiday Lights location map from the Denver Post showing were all the great holiday lights can be found.
Of course there is one sure way you can find lots of snow if you want to feel like Winter is here... just head to the mountains.
While Denver has been enjoying a very mild Winter the mountains have been getting some record snow fall. All the great ski resorts are boasting wonderful early skiing conditions including Vail, Beaver Creek, Copper Mountain, Winter Park, Arapahoe Basin, Steamboat, and more. Sometimes we forget just how a short one or two hour drive can transform our world from the great urban city of Denver to the beautiful Colorado Rockies.
But we shouldn't forget. It's one of the top reasons many of our relocation clients give us as their reasons for selecting the city of Denver as their great home. Downtown Denver condo and loft residents have it made in our city. Denver is unique. You can wake up early and grab coffee at your favorite downtown coffee house, ski one of the best resorts in the world two hours later, and then return to have dinner out on the town in Denver that evening. In fact the commute to our closest ski resorts may be the same time commitment that folks in larger cities do daily just to go to work.
So if you are missing the snow this holiday seasons remember this... the magic of our Colorado Rockies is just a short trip away.
Cheers everyone and happy skiing, snowshoeing, or whatever your winter pursuits are.
