  1. "No such thing as bad weather. Just bad equipment." That's a Colorado saying, which applies to its northern neighbor. After 7 years up in Gunnison, Colorado, just to the south, Wyoming winters hold no mysteries, even though 8,000 feet in the Bighorns is colder than 8,000 feet in the San Juans. You have to develop a certain level of smugness about defeating the elements. "Yeah, it's cold, but I'm not." I spent some time in Laramie in the winter, and they ain't lyin' about the wind or the cold. Even if you love the outdoors, there are good stretches where nobody's going outside! So you better like puttering in your shop or curling up with a book next to the fire. Speaking as a sportsman and outdoorsman, I think I prefer Wyoming over Colorado. Colorado's got some great places, and some great out-of-the-way places, but even in those places, you're likely to run into strangers who think nothing of invading the hole you're working, like it's nothing, and scare all the fish. I remember getting offended a few times in Colorado, and then offending others in Idaho, when I acted too much like a Coloradan, and the 50 yards I gave 'em wasn't enough to suit. If you like having the whole area to yourself, like I do, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho are all better than Colorado.
