Life in Colorado
It's relaxing, comfortable and manageable.
When driving into Denver or Boulder from our international airport, one of the first things that strikes you is the vastness of the high plains. Then you see the incredible Colorado Front Range, which stretches North to South for hundreds of miles. CableLabs sits right at its base and the view can be a definite distraction while driving to work.
Then there's the weather here. It's sunny a lot, the snow doesn't stick around very long—usually—and the lack of humidity makes for welcome outdoor adventures. Did you know we have more sunny days than San Diego? And our sky is actually blue and seems to go on forever.
When you're not in the office, enjoying the view, you can generally find things to do outside to entertain yourself. Climb a mountain, for example. Colorado has 54 peaks over 14,000 feet, and a lot of others that make for good climbs as well. There's also world-class hiking, biking, rafting, camping, and golfing close by. Athletes and climbers come here from around the world to train in our altitude and to enjoy the great weather and great outdoors. Skiing and snow sports are less than an hour away.
The local population is quite active as well, so much so that Boulder was featured a few years ago in a major magazine cover story as the town that can't sit still. However, if you prefer to enjoy your sports from the couch, a bar stool, or a stadium seat, Denver offers Rockies baseball, Avalanche hockey, Rapids soccer, Nuggets basketball, Broncos football, Mammoth lacrosse, and Colorado Crush arena football. And those are the teams at the national professional sports league levels.
Thanks to a strong cultural community, the C in Colorado now stands for culture, as well as cowboy. So, along with the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, we have the Denver Art Museum, Colorado Symphony, Colorado Ballet, Opera Colorado and an amazing Performing Arts Complex hosting national and regional theatre productions. From Arts to Zoo, there are plenty of options for experiencing Denver's many attractions and lively neighborhoods.
It's definitely different here. All that natural beauty, good weather, and active lifestyle tends to affect a person's attitude. People seem to smile more. Strangers will wave at you (generally as a friendly gesture). You can even wear bolo ties and cowboy boots (black ones preferably) with a tuxedo. Honest.
If you think you can put up with all that, you just might like it here. We do.
