As yooper pointed out, definitely do not OC in Denver. As for the other areas you indicated, you are good to go.
There is some question about Golden, Telluride and Vail, as these cities have ordinances on the book that on their face appear to prohibit OC in general, but there is also indication that they do not enforce them in that manner,
opting to follow the state's original posting requirement (i.e. only areas that are specifically posted against it). The problem is,there is some question as to whether the Meyer decision (the state supreme court ruling thatsupported Denver's right to ban OC) also allows other citiesto enforce city wide bans on OC. While it may be true that none of these citiesactually enforce these ordinances in that manner at this time, the potential appears tobe there, so, use your own discretion in these areas.
