Hmmm. First I never find Boulder "tourist" busy. It's a great place and, no, not "skipidty do dah" all the time. It's a "destination city" as it's lodged up against the foothills to the continental divide. It's gorgeous and pretty laid back. It's a lot like Santa Barbara, CA. It's expensive, out of the way and people who come there and stay do so because they love the place (like SB). Consequently you have a small city with inhabitants who are there because of choice. That makes for happy people. Very highly educated and informed people who love Boulder. Something every city should aspire to. There is snow but not as much as Vermont, Maine or parts of Massachusetts. It' up against the foothills,mountains so much of the snow passes over the city to the plains.
