I silently smiled and referred him to a friend of mine, Trish Giassa who actually lives and sells real estate in Crested Butte, a REAL ski town.

So many people have the impression that Denver is IN the mountains. It really isn’t.

But then I took this photo while standing on the Millennium Bridge in Riverfront Park.  I’ll be darned, it does look like Denver is in the mountains!
