I lived in El Jebel all winter worked 2 jobs in aspen and the drive gets old real fast. unless u like dealing with shitty drivers and 30min of driving everday i would find something in aspen or snowmass. the nice thing about carbondale is that its about the same elevation as denver so the winter is shorter there and by the end of march you can hang out on your deck in shorts and flip flops if its not windy. Other then that the roaring fork valley is dope, super fun and awesome people.

Coming from living Seattle and commuting on a 1 lane highway an hour and a half, sometimes more.... I'll take it. :)

also false, UTAH has the same laws Colorado does. you can only buy 3.2 beer at the gas station and grocery store. but they if you go to the Liquor store you can get what ever you want the only difference is that utah has state liquor stores which have shitty hours and they dont have that many of them, i think there is 2 in park city. Get yo facts right son.

Then you will be fine, but if you can afford it i would move more up valley, just way more fun unless you like sitting at home alone or going to the only somewhat good bar in carbondale which is the black nugget and it sucks

I moved to carbondale about a year ago, and I really like it. Theres alot of stuff to do near by like biking, hiking, fishing, skiing, and plenty of other outdoor stuff. Its a cool little place.

Honestly, we don't really drink much anymore though. A couple beers on a patio in the afternoon and I'm good. However, the few times I do go out... that bus is gonna come in hannndy.

Boyfran is gonna be going to school in Glenwood, we're probably transferring to the Whole Foods in Basalt, so Carbondale seems like it fits. Idk.

THIS is what I'm stoked about. I miss being in such close proximity to all the outdoor playtimes. Seattle is a good CITY for that, but you have to drive so far to do anything fun.
