Rodney,
It looks like I'm coming your way this Thanksgiving. Weather permitting of course.
My father-in-law was all for it. He's a 65 year old body builder who is still a kid at heart. He's looking into places to ride and I've done my research but, instead of going shopping on the busiest day (Friday after Turkey Day) maybe we can get together for a ride.
Send me an e-mail and I'll reply with a phone number in the Springs that you can call locally. Hope this comes together, Until then.
P.S. I went to a public trail system here in Missouri on Saturday. Check out the pics at http://photos.yahoo.com/dreymac

There's plenty of places to ride. Hardest part is deciding where to go! 
ATV's are a blast in the snow, but they do have their limitations. In the winter, when the snow gets too deep in the high country, we often ride the lower elevations and trails further to the south. Round Mountain is a good area if there is snow because there are a lot of trails that aren't real steep. Rampart Range has a lot of trails that are more suited to motorcycles, but still a lot of fun for ATVs too. They are designated ATV and motorcycle, and they are wide enough for ATV's, but they have a *lot* of whoop-de-do's and deep grooves down the middle (a lot of "V" shaped trails that can be challenging for an ATV; see ChickenMan's next video). Other real good trails for winter are Texas Creek, Tanner Trail, and Squirrel Creek. See the Quad Dusters web page for directions to many of the places we ride. So far, we haven't had hardly any snow, so a lot of places are still open. But that could change overnight. If the trails are still accessable, I bet we could talk ChickenMan into going to Holy Cross after Thanksgiving; but odds are against it. The snow will come, and ChickenMan will go ---> snowmobiling for the rest of the season!
