However, most of those people don't have 15,000 square feet to live in during those winters. Cabin fever wouldn't be much of an issue in 15,000 square feet, though maybe it would after ten years of it. Hard to tell.

Oklahoma is a great house, and I just noticed the little sledding hill in Photo 1. Or maybe the owner just doesn't like outdoor stairs. I don't know. And I also see the flame-spewing rock in Photo 1, and I really wish I knew the story there. Anyway, Oklahoma is a great house and it's near a larger city than Colorado, but my hunch is that Colorado has more of the services I'd like since Aspen is a world-class town.

I'm wary of voting Colorado since I don't want to end up axing through a door to kill Shelly Duvall. But it's a bigger house and the scenery is beautiful and you can be kind of weird in Aspen and get away with it. I wish I had a bigger stipend, but I'll still go Colorado here.

There's no reason you even have to leave that house when it's balls deep in snow. And snow skiing is one of my favorite things. Especially in Aspen.

But yea, don't hire a caretaker. You can be weird in Aspen? I'm down.
