These 5 Cool Coloradans Know How to Win Winter

Mother Nature knows how to test Coloradans, whether she's teasing us with a snowmageddon or throwing it down.

And we say, "Bring it on."

We are Colorado, after all.

We adapt.

We adjust.

We go with the flow.

And live life to its fullest, even when the snow flies.

So when the snow piled up across Colorado this week, these residents shared just how to win in winter.

Go WIth the Fido Flow

Ryan Lange called this a dog walk ... we call it transportation. Coloradans don't get snowed in; we get out — one way or another.

We Coloradans love our dogs, and Colorado dogs love the snow ... cue Dakota ...
