    well we will have to chill and have some beers .... also assuming your avatar pic is your style, looking forward to winter, i snowboard too .... heard resorts are a bit expensive so people just take 2 cars and do shuttle runs

    I mean its not that bad to say being white after dark. I drive through there every night to come home from the hospital when I out there and so does my other half. She actual works for the ambulance in that area as well. But yes north is the crapy part.

    Where in the Denver area are you going to be working? There's a lot of good places to live, but it would depend on if you're working in the south or north parts. I'm a fan of just about all areas west of I-25. Littleton, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, and Westminster are all pretty nice with only a few exceptions here or there.

    Regarding the resorts, if you want to go a lot, buy a pass. You can get unlimited access to several mountains for the entire season. If you constantly buy lift tickets, it does get expensive really fast. If you buy a pass, it's not so bad if you plan to actually use it.

    I'm in aurora around chambers and mississippi which is 15 minutes away from kappes03. In my experience aurora is not the best place to live but was a relief from where I grew up at. North aurora is bad I'm more south so its better, but people have gotten broken into in my block.

    it'll depend on your budget, where you work, and if you don't mind driving a bit. Traffic in Denver is pretty much nonexistent unless you are on I-25. Guys on here pretty much live all over the city, Im moving to the Highlands in a month or so, which is just west of downtown. For the most part west of I25 is kinda subburby, and east for a good bit is more city living.

    Ill be working in the central business district near speer and champa .... found another place in lakewood i like ... plan to call that guy in a bit

    my budget isnt too bad, im just a frugal guy by nature and figure if i can get a good enough place for not too much money then i can save some, and have money for fun too

    glad to hear traffic isnt an issue either

    Yeah I live in Denver in the Valverde neighborhood alameda and i25. 5min from down town. Rush hour sucks on i25 for me to come home from work at 7am but it's not terrible.

    Just move to Aurora and hang a confederate flag up. Nobody will mess with you then.




    Just kidding. I am from St Louis and I am pretty sure you would die if you even thought about that in the city. OR if you just go to the East side. With that said, stay as west as you can if you love doing anything like mtn biking. I live in Parker and it kills me to drive 45 min to the foot hills to bike.
