I've never been
It's always good to try new things and visit new places.
It looks pretty
I like pretty places, mountain caps with snow, trees, etc.
It's close to some ski areas
I no longer ski but have been considering the idea of visiting some ski resorts off season. I went to Telluride years ago and it was so quaint I'd love to find more places like that.
My mom's best friend lives in Denver
I could look her up; if she is still there...
Cheap airfare
It is generally less expensive to fly into "hub" areas and I think Denver is a hub for American. And don't they have a big, fancy airport?
