Pictureque scenery of Frisco Colorado - just like I imagine it to be. This little town is central to 5 premier Colorado Ski Areas including: Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin and Loveland. There is a vast difference in scenery for residents in Frisco, Texas. It is a typical growing suburbs of a metropolitan area - 25 miles north of Dallas. Families typically spend their weekends at soccer, football or baseball fields, cooling themselves off in swimming pools or enjoying the jet skis in the lakes while I imagine, the residents in Colorado begin skiing the slopes of the mountains during the winter, and hiking in the summer.
