Bob, I picked up and moved away from Colorado just so I could own a 150 and actually go places other than Kansas. If you have a hangar or covered parking option, maybe the pacer or a higher hp colt?? My buddy had a 59' 172 w/ 145hp (I think) which honestly didn't seem any more capable then the 150 that I was flying out of Centennial. I got my ppl in a 152 and 150 flying out of the Denver metro airports, lots of fun.
