Also if memory serves me correctly, Denver is at a much higher risk for fires when there isn't enough snow. In 2012 didn't the Waldo Canyon fire destroy about 350 homes and burn over 18,000 acres near Colorado Springs?
Then there was the 2013 Colorado Front range flood. Granted Boulder was hit hardest but 19,000 homes were damaged and 1500 destroyed.
There are risks no matter where you choose to locate the building...personally I would have kept two locations. Should a snow storm stop operations you can use the other facility, should a hurricane stop operations you can do the event in Denver. Yes it costs more to have two facilities, but it costs even more if you ever need to borrow someone else's devices because of a problem at your one location.

Hard to produce a consistent product if you have two locations.
