[quote=Anonymous]Colorado has some pretty extreme weather. Low humidity, yes ... so low I get nosebleeds and headaches when I go there, extreme heat and wildfires in the summer, extreme cold in the winter. And the altitude is no joke for athletic activity. I think people who want to be outdoorsy will be outdoorsy wherever they land. The difference is more cultural than climate driven - in CA or CO (or OR, WA, AK, ID), more people do outdoorsy things all the time, so there's more of a social incentive to join them. When I lived in WA or CA, my friends regularly planned a hike/picnic for a weekend afternoon, or a river kayaking excursion, or rock climbing. It's just what people did with free time. You can do those same things in VA - kayaking the upper Potomac is really pleasant on a hot August day - but many people don't. So those who are on the fence - will go along, but not plan their own outdoorsy stuff - will get swept along on the west coast, but not here. [/quote]
