Things Not As Obvious As They Seem

When you live in a Colorado ski town, you probably take the simplest things about your surroundings for granted. For some who come to visit, not everything is as obvious as you’d think. Colorado Group Realty asked a handful of Routt County natives and long-term locals for the most surprising questions they’ve been asked. Here are ten of the best.

1. Is there a left and a right ski?

2. What is a bluebird day?

3. How can you stand living with snow all year long?

4. Did steamboats really come through here?

5. Are the hot springs actually hot?

6. How does the snow not fall on the roads?

7. Pointing to an image of marijuana, is this the state flower?

8. When did Steamboat host the Olympics?

9. Can I return my rental ski boots to any shop in town?

10. Why is it called champagne powder?
