Coolest mountain towns
I know this forum is fairly well traveled so I was hoping people would have some thoughts.
I'll be moving westward in a couple or years. At the moment Crested Butte, CO is by FAR the coolest town I have ever spent time in and I doubt it can be topped, however its also VERY pricey. Therefor I was hoping to learn about some new towns Ive never been too. Doesnt have to be Colorado(Im fairly sure that Ive been enough around CO to know there may be nothing like it there....never been to Telluride though), but heres what I like about CB -Mountain environment -Laid back atmosphere with real character(town ordinance against franchises is in place) -Good mountain biking -Good skiing -Lack of urban sprawl that is rapidly taking over most mountain towns -Lack of snobby vibe/designer shops( ie aspen/vail/ etc -Other than that I cant really describe it, just fell in love with the place. Anyone been anywhere similar? Thanks, Evan |

Re: Coolest mountain towns
You know what other forum is fairly well traveled?
Start at the top of the sidebar, work your way to the bottom, and then you have one guess. |

Hmm, since you put it so kindly.... wasnt aware we had that.
Furthermore I meant 2p2 in general. Feel free to move |

Re: Coolest mountain towns
Telluride is incredible, but very very small. I don't think I can imagine spending more than a few months there. They've militantly avoided chain stores, sprawl, etc. If you're mountain-town shopping you really should visit.

[/ QUOTE ] Cool, thats what Ive heard, just wasnt sure if theyve avoided the sprawl takeover. Thanks CB is very small as well and is one of the reasons I find it so appealing. Not really a city type. Only city Ive ever visited that Id ever consider living in is Anchorage...and MAYBE Denver if there was some compelling reason, but basically only because of proximity. |

Then when you move to your destined town you can post all about your travels from your home town. This may or may not be the right forum, but the travel forum has nothing to do with what you are asking. |
