What do you think of living in Summit Country?

I just moved up here and I love it. I'm a transplant from Minneapolis, MN and the small town atmosphere and living is taking a little getting used to, but I absolutely love the landscape, low humidity, and the multitude of snowboarding options that will be available this winter. Generally speaking, how do other Coloradans that don't live in Summit view it, positively or negatively and why? Thanks!
