Hey Kendo, I'm in Littleton. I drive ~23K miles a year, both in the city and mountains. Finding a tire that is good on days that are 65 degrees and sunny, as well as a foot of fresh in the mountains is tough. Dunlop 3Ds are my favorite performance snow tire, as I think they are the best compromise. I rarely see ice, which they are not good with.
The LM-22s are very nice tires, the snow tire technology has advanced significantly since their release, so you can find better options that those now. Nokian Hakkas are great if you spend a lot of time in the mountains, but suck in town on dry roads.
