Where to move to...?

After 22 years of parent duty I am a empty nester!
Oh Yah! I found skydiving three years ago and it has slowly taken over my life. I want out of my suburban hell. I love snowboarding, skydiving, and music. Where is the best place in the USA to live?
Love CO. but wonder about losing 4k altitude.
I live in PA but am tired of the puritans (read hipacrits). Any suggestions for a single guy.

Born and raised in the Bay I have to say it is a great place. Everything is there and it is easy cheap public transportation to get around. I would suggest to live just someplace just south of SF. It is little cheaper and you will be able to find parking within the block you live(most the time).

Thanks. But I have issues with Cali. I'm thinking Rocky Mtn. states or mid Atlantic.

Close. The Sacramento area would be my recommendation. Basically 1-2 hours from Sacramento to SF (music, culture, watersports), Tahoe and Reno (snowboarding, skiing, gambling, hiking, music), miles of gorgeous coastline, tens of thousands of acres of wilderness and national forest to play in, and four turbine dz's. Housing is way cheaper than the Bay area or SoCal, too.

Buy two motorhomes and put one in Fla and one on the West coast or CO. Fly to them as you wish.

I don't hear great laments around here about altitude problems. You'd be hard pressed to do better than Colorado, I'd say!

Salt Lake City is the shiz...skydiving, great shows, and awesome snow.

This non-Mormon can't wait to get back!

Boulder, CO. Good snow, turbine DZ 15 minutes away, nearest ski area 45 minutes (with good snow after a storm on week days), decent live music. 300 days of sunshine a year. Low cost of living compared to other places you'd actually want to live. Some people like Denver for a more urban environment.

Although starting at 5000 feet MSL you still get to 12,500 AGL. Jumps from over 18,000 MSL happen sometimes but require air traffic approval.

California is nice and sunny. The San Francisco bay area has music and food and it's easy to catch a train to the City for an evening. Temperature is great - you don't ever need your winter coat. Between tax laws keeping people in homes they've owned forever, growth controls, and tech millions property values are obscene (example: 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1500 square foot ranch house - $1.5M). Rent is only some what out of hand (two bedrooms for $2000 a month). Coastal snow also sucks - there's too much moisture in it.

I haven't tried California skiing yet but expect to be unimpressed after British Columbia and Washington State - you need some place high and dry like the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to get good snow.
