I grew up in western CO and moved to MN 14 years ago, I have only been able to visit "home" a few times and only during the warmer time of the year. I was able to visit this past week of X-mas and was very happy to see the numerous ice fishing enthusiests out and about, ice fishing was not practiced by many while I still still lived there. Actually made me envious as you have ice, alot of it, and I don't. In fact the local lake here is still open. Everyone is blaming it on the large number of geese around using it but 40 degree days and rain isn't helping. Have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselves!
