But yeah, it seems white folks love Denver. Even from places like MI and OH, lots of young folks flock to Denver. It seems like a pleasant, improving city without any major drawbacks outside of isolation but I don't see the unique appeal.

Dude. Have you been to Colorado? It's gorgeous. It really doesn't have the barren-appearing mountains you see 9 months out of the year in Southern California.
And I don't think pdx was saying that all of Colorados ski resorts are better than Whistler and Jackson Hole, or even that any of them are. I think he was saying that, taken together, Colorado's 26 ski resorts offer the best skiing on the continent; which is undeniably true.
