Victor, Colorado was a booming town in the 1800s, but has really slowed down since then. It wasn't until recently, when the Black Monarch Hotel re-opened did the tourism pick up again.
I moved to Colorado from my comfy roots in Pennsylvania for one reason and one reason only--the snow. I've been in love with skiing since I was a kid, and after I had a taste of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, it wasn't long until I was a resident.
