Your PCS to Colorado Springs, Everything you need to know

The Air is thinner

The city is at an elevation of 6,000 feet. Take it easy when you first move to Colorado Springs. You might not be able to stick to your normal workout routine until you adjust to the elevation. You might experience some lightheadedness or shortness of breath. If you have asthma, it’s important to keep your inhaler close. The good news is that once your body adjusts to the elevation you’ll feel like a superstar athlete when you visit cities at sea level.


Pikes Peaks Shadow

Pikes Peak (there’s no apostrophe) is a beautiful mountain that looms over Colorado Springs – in a good way. It’s a recreation site and a symbol of the city. Colorado Springs’ city government likes to boast that Pikes Peak is the most visited mountain in North America, and the second most visited mountain in the world (after Mount Fuji, in Japan).


Sweater Weather

Colorado Springs can have big temperature swings in the course of a single day. If you leave the house without an extra layer when it’s warm and sunny at midday you might find yourself regretting that decision when things turn chilly at night. It’s the high desert, so expect chilly temperatures after dark. Temperature swings in the spring can be as big as 50 degrees – seriously.


Learn to love Snow

Real talk: winters in the Springs can be pretty brutal. But residents of Colorado Springs make the most of it by getting into winter sports. That means ski season is huge in the city. Ice hockey, snow shoeing and sledding are all popular winter activities, too. Oh, and fondue is big, so there’s always plenty of melted cheese to get you through the cold winter (sorry, vegans).
