just moved home after living in Colorado Springs, I enjoyed it, the pace is way different than were I live. It was real laid back.
I was anxious to get back home, but I'm already starting to miss the weather/atmosphere after only a few days.
There's a lot to do if you're the outdoors type

Honestly imo living in the bay is financially easiest if you're single. Lots of nice new apartments and condos in Oakland being built. A lot of them are inthe hood but I was born and raised there and never had any problems.
I might as well add in a few things about Denver since that's where you're most interested in.
Beautiful scenery, people are nice...to your face, I've only spent time in downtown Denver once but it was nice with a good mix of establishments as Iremember.
As far as the job market, healthcare industry there is huge from what I understand. One of the friends I was talking about is a dentist and she took a heftypay cut coming from Denver to the Bay and healthcare is huge in the bay as too, give cost of living as well that speaks volumes.
Also there are a decent amount of regional headquarters in Denver given as it's kind of a midway point between the west and the other side of the countryso if corporate is your thing that could be a plus.

What do you want to know about snowboarding brotha?
I started in 7th grade and I'm 27 now so I have been a whole lot of times over those years. The last 3-4 years I've been between 20-40 times a season.I have been on trips the last few years to Colorado (Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone), Wyoming (Jackson Hole and backcountry) and Utah (Powder Mountain, TheCanyons, Snowbird and one other resort that Im blanking on right now).
I ride a 164W Lib Tech board, Flow bindings (I love them but there are a TON of Flow haters), Vans boots.

Everything! From goggles to bindings to snowboard decks. I want to be at least educated about the equipment and what works best for a beginnerthen what would be better once I get better at it.
What are those other parts of Colorado like that you mentioned because I was considering Denver?

1. Colorado Springs is nice. Its pretty high up elevation wise so you will get heavy snows up until March and sometimes April. Co Springs is nice though butfrom when I have been up there I always thought it was more of a family type of city.
2. Denver, love DENVER. Denver def. has a big city feel to it but at the same time its not that big really. You're about a couple hours away from theslopes and the downtown is nice. Check out 16th St for all your shopping and hit up Lo Do for clubs. Also doesn't hurt that the Nuggets, Rockies andBroncos are all in town as well.
3. Boulder- Ahhh, I guess from what everyone has said you are black male and if you are looking for a solid black community you better keep it moving but atthe same time I think Boulder is a great city. Pearl St is nice for shopping and eating and its a college town (CU) so there is always something going on andlike the other cities I have talked about its not more then a couple hour drive to the slopes.
Hope that helps you. . .

That helps out a lot, I'm still torn about what part I want to move, I know somewhere close to the mountains so I can practice hitting theslopes often
