11 Undeniable Things Every True Coloradoan Has Done At Least Once

Whether you’re a Colorado native or a recent transplant, there’s a good chance that you’ve done at least half of the things on this list!

1.) You voluntarily woke up early on a school day to see if it had snowed enough for school to be cancelled.

I don't think this applies to the mountain kids (sorry, guys..), but those of us who grew up on either the front range or plains have enjoyed a snow day or two (or 57).
2.) You've rolled your eyes at a California transplant.
Giphy
California (and its residents); We love you.. but please quit moving here and complaining about our beloved home!
3.) You have skied.
Giphy
Believe it or not, I was born and raised here and have only been skiing ONCE...How many times have you been skiing?
4.) You learned about Alferd Packer in school.
Giphy
"He did WHAT now?"
5.) You visited the Butterfly Pavilion on a field trip, family outing, etc.
Giphy
...and you dressed in really bright colors and stood very still in hopes that a butterfly would land on you!
6.) You know what ECO Week is.
Giphy
I hope yours all went better than mine--my cabin mates fought the entire time.
7.) You've attended a Rockies game.
Giphy
How can you not? The tickets are SO cheap!
8.) You walked into a blizzard wearing shorts, a tank top, flip flops, or all of the above.
Giphy
Don't deny it.
9.) You've driven past a dispensary and felt strongly about it one way or another.
Giphy
10.) You felt giddy about going to Casa Bonita.
Giphy
...and felt sorely disappointed when you stood in line for two hours for a plate of inedible slop.
11.) You've taken an outdoor Instagram picture knowing full well you're friends would feel jealous.
