Fraser, Colorado, is a small but growing community that enjoys mountain views and proximity to Winter Park Resort’s ski slopes, and it's known for its chill. “I’m a mile down the road from Fraser, and it can be 20 degrees warmer at my place in the morning than it is down in Fraser,” says Jack Castellion, owner of Grand Adventure Balloon Tours, adding that the area typically gets more than 200 inches of snow a year. In addition to its year-round activities, Fraser has a small art scene and several cafes, restaurants and breweries. “I don’t think I can live anywhere else. The community is very nice. There are great mountain bike trails and just about everything you want,” says Jack Castellion. “And we’re really close to the ski area. I moved here to ski. They say the winters get us here, and the summers keep us here.”
Many residents in Fraser enjoy stunning sunsets in the distant mountains.
