[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colorado would work.  The Denver suburbs have extensive trails, open space, sidewalks, and playgrounds.  Skiing is excellent, but traffic to the ski slopes is terrible.  The cons are the cost of housing and some people don't care for the arid climate.  There are numerous smaller towns west of Denver like Evergreen or Conifer that would have you out of the city but close enough for shopping.

Another thought is upstate NY.  You could live in the suburb of a medium sized town like [b]Syracuse[/b].  There are even more outdoor activities than Colorado because of the lakes and rivers, but the skiing and climbing pales in comparison.   Winters are gray unlike Colorado and property taxes are high because there is a large school tax.  The schools are really good.  When you pay teachers a good wage, you get quality teachers.  PE in one of the school districts includes cross-country skiing and hiking.
