Hey Armando, I've been going to that area of Colorado since I was 10 years old, needless to say that's a fair amount of years. The riding is phenomenal, and never a shortage of people to ride with. The whole area is growing, doesn't seem to be a shortage of jobs, real estate is just as expensive there as it is here, not sure about schools. I say go check it out!
 
Armando, I've had 4 different friends who have moved out there in the last couple years and they all love it. 3 of the 4 are mountain bikers and they say the riding is incredible. Two have complained about the cold, but say they get used to it (how can anybody get used to 5 degrees below zero for over a month?), but the winters are usually not that long. I used to have the area as a sales territory back in the 80's and did a lot of fishing and hunting there. I always wanted to live ther, but I hate cold so CA is where I'll stay for now. The job market is so/so, but there are plenty of jobs, but the scale is a little lower. Property is a little cheaper and if you get out of the bigger cities it gets a lot cheaper, but then you'd have to commute. Denver's air is as dirty as LA too, with more first stage smog alerts then any other place in the nation. Still outside of Denver you have some of the most beautiful country in the world.

Armando its awsome out there. Ive never rode there though. I went there for a week with school in 7th grade. We stayed in crow canyon archilogical center for 6 days(outside of town) and went to Mesa Verde on the last. Its one of the most amazing paces ive evr been. Id love to move there.
 
i like the area between denver & boulder. i was in westminster a couple of months ago for work. housing is a lot cheaper, and quality of life seems good. tons of recreational activies. i've given serious thought to moving a couple of times.
 
My sister lives outside of Denver, her husband works for the airport, the housing outside the major city is way cheap, there's tons of recreational activities, the weather really isn't that bad. We go up and visit her often and you get acclimated to the weather really quick. My 2 nieces go to private school so not sure about schooling.
If you or your wife or both have jobs available i wouldn't hesitate moving out there. My 2 cents
