Sep 24th, 2010 at 11:00AM: I live in Colorado and I don't ski, snowboard or otherwise partake in the numerous ski resort activities involving ice, snow, goggles, weird hats and heavy snow-suits (that the so-called fashionable people call ski apparel).

Yes, you can roll around in – and glide on – the cold white stuff in July and ...
