Actually, Durango, which is about a 40 minute drive to the east, has a very nice, up to date, little airport. Jets land there and everything! The flight to Denver is maybe an hour or two, I forget, but not very long.
I won't need to fly away from the snow, though. That's another cosmic thing about Mancos. Its one of those "edge" places right between the mountains and the desert. Mancos itself gets tons of snow every winter, but they are very good about keeping highway 160 clear. In 20 minutes, you can be in Cortez where the pavement is dry. Two hours from Cortez and you can be basking in the warmth of the desert country of southern Utah!
The Sonoran desert is maybe an 8 hour drive away. You hit snow again around Flagstaff for a bit, but after that its all smooth driving down to the Baja if you feel like going that far!
