Beautiful Weather

People are apt to say, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes". The mountains are beautiful and the sunsets can be to die for. Showers are common, but often only last minutes at a time. It can snow a good deal on the winter, but everything is within walking distance and easy to reach.

Through Rain and Snow...

Most days are comfortable and sunny, but we get a little bit of everything: snow and ice and rain with some frequency in the fall. It's hot in early fall and late spring, and pretty chilly at times in the winter. Classes are not often cancelled college-wide due to weather: professors make the call depending on whether they can get to class. On campus, you can walk anywhere in any weather, but have a rain coat and boots for icy/rainy weather.

It's beautiful and warm when you...

It's beautiful and warm when you first arrive and when you leave. Shorts and T-shirts are great, but because we are slightly in the mountains, the evenings and mornings are still cold, so bring a range of clothes. Winter is winter, for the most part.
