As the winter months are approach,ing there are many things you cancould do. But considering that there are mainly two things that most people indulge in as it gets colder… and those are traveling somewhere warm and relaxing in a tropical wonderland or staying home and embracinge the winter fun with family and friends., Tthis leads us to the debate of: 

The state of Colorado’s winter mountains or sSomewhere with a tropical beach?

Nora Wayman : Mountains – 

Mountains are better not only during this time of year, they are the best all year round. There is so much to do in the mountains, but let’s start with what you can do in the mountains during the winter months. Number one is obviously skiing, and snowboarding, along with sledding as well. And yes I know you can do snowball fights and ice skating anywhere in Colorado, but doing those things in the mountains is a whole different type of feeling, especially if you’re ice skating over on a frozen over lake.  Just imagine after a road trip up to the white capped mountains, you settle into a cozy cabin with either friends or family. After a long day of playing in the snow, you come back to the cabin to sip hot chocolate by a blazing fire.  Now for the other seasons, in the summer you can hike, swim in a lake, celebrate 4th of July, explore small mountain towns, camp, and even make forts. Being in the mountains is so therapeutic and calming, with no light pollution, big buildings, and just the calming smell of bone and the sound of birds singing. Not to mention, the beach is only really fun to be in the summer, while the mountains are fun to be in all year round! In conclusion, mountains are better than the beach in summer, fall, and winter and just in general. 

Ella Slupik : Beach – 

While the mountains are a beautiful and fun place to visit, the beach is infinitely better. All year round, you can enjoy beautiful weather with sun and a soft breeze, and a number of fun activities all year round. During the summer, you can have a picnic by the water, look for shells, and play in the water. Surfing is a super fun activity that is both thrilling and entertaining. Swimming is fun for people of all ages, from small children who love splashing in the shallow water, to adults who enjoy taking a dip in the cool ocean water. A beachside picnic is a wonderful activity to have on a warm summer afternoon. In the winter, you can hang out in a wonderful beachside resort, make snow/sand angels, and more! Also, there are many fun activities that you can do all year round! Some of these may include: games such as beach volleyball, having an evening bonfire, going for a walk around the beach, or looking for wildlife. The beach brings many things that the mountains don’t, such as sunny, warm weather, getting an opportunity to travel to a different state, spending time with family and friends, and eating unique, tasty food such as sushi and crab!
