I lived in Utah on and off for about 10 years and I've lived in Denver the last 17. Denver winters are WAAAAYYY more tolerable than SLC winters. Temps and snowfall are similar, but no inversions, still sunny 90% of the time.

I think LaVell nailed it in his comment on Laramie.

It takes 90 minutes just to drive from one end of Denver to the other.

i lived in cheyenne for 3 years. Still not palatable, especially in the winter.

I don't live in SLC now, but the winters are far worse in Cheyenne and Laramie.

Much worse than the Wasatch front. Denver winters are worse also, but..

I've lived in Orem and in Laramie. There is no comparison.

Depends where. I've lived in three of the 4 corners, and love one. The other

I always stopped in Laramie. The Ramada Inn there is a different level of dive.

Seems reasonable...

It was a bad experience. There are things I like "sort of" about Wyoming.

I stayed in a Ramada once, in South Carolina

Summers in either place are great, and CFD in Cheyenne is amazing. But 7 months

Please don't generalize and assume that all BYU fans are of the type

I-80 corridor is through about the most desolate, ugliest part of Wyoming

Provo during an inversion is real pleasant.

Or I just think certain locations are cold, isolated, and lack natural beauty

I think your choice of how to characterize the "typical" BYU fan

Make up your mind! BYU fans get criticized greatly if religion is brought up by coaches, players or fans and when

Rhino84

You're the one who brought it up anyway.

This is the absolute most insane thing I've ever read

I looked up 'self righteous' in the dictionary and it showed a pic of your post.
