As Clark points out, we live in one of the most beautiful states in the union and yet when it snows, people take pictures of outdoor furniture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is it that every time it snows we whip out photos of our patio furniture sets like we\u2019re showing off baby photos of our kids? Is that the best we can do?\u201d Clark asks rhetorically.<\/p>\n<p>With soaring voice, inspiring music, and photos showcasing the Centennial Sate in winter, Clark tells Coloradans they can do much better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we really a state that takes the easy way out? We blasted a road through the Rockies, we put a cliff inside a Mexican restaurant, our welcome sign is a demon horse with crazy laser eyes. We don\u2019t do easy around here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;C&#8217;mon Colorado,&#8221; Clark concludes. &#8220;We love winter.
