Please take a second to read the segment of "Feedback" regarding the described lovefest of fan mail they received following the article and tell us what you think!

"I learned to ski and appreciate live music there and found some of the nicest people in the world. The payoff of working two jobs is being able to wake up to the sights and sounds and smells of living in the middle of a national forest." Another reader confirmed: "We own a place in Red River, and it's the best kept secret in the Southwest. Skip Colorado and come see us!"
