What's the overall best state? That has all the components of a great state.
- Best schools
- Nicest places to live
- Best hills to ski
- Everything

I kinda agree... But I only thing the upper half of the state counts. I did leave for Colorado but CO has NO water so it drops some points.

I would say New England is the best region as a whole, but that Colorado is the best individual state. Reasoning is that nothing in New England is really that far away from any other part, We have the Cape, a lot of the best colleges in the country, and some pretty decent mountains up north, but no individual state has all of them.
Colorado has pretty much everything you could ask for in a state except for beaches, and I'm not really a fan of beaches except for the Cape and when I went to Hawaii, so that's why it's the best state in my mind.

Colorado is just east coast skiing that got displaced to a higher elevation in the rockies. shits whack.

Also, pretty much anything other than the west coast/alaksa/hawaii sucks.

Great history and a very proud population

Best sports fans and teams

Boston is the epitome of a college town..so many young people here its always a good time

Only a few short hours to the best skiing in the northeast and close to some of the best beaches in the country

Cape cod.

Boston

You must not have skied in Colorado before. If you have, you must not know how to ski anything other than park.

youre retarded my state is about to legalize and tax marijuana and get all that money back. makes sense why there are high rates of unemployment because so many people want to move there because of reasons previously stated, and not everybody can find work because of how heavily populated it is. however if you go to college its not hard to land a sick job in california so it doesn't even matter. quit paying attention to the bullshit you east coast queer.

If you only stick to the trails and go where everyone else goes then yes. I have traveled a lot in the West and nothing comes close to Colorado skiing. Maybe if you go to Keystone, A-Basin, Breck, places like that, then yes I can see why you would feel let down.

dumbasses like you are the reason i have pretty much stopped posting on NS. and if you think it won't solve the debt problems you're an imbecile. marijuana is california's (and the nation's) biggest cash crop, exceeding corn and wheat. do you know how much money that entails? no because you're an idiot. and its fucktards like you that make weed legalization sound like a 16 year old issue because of your improper education on the issue. go ahead and look up some shit for a rebuttal for all i care i'm not even gonna look back at this shit its a waste of time.
