We get that where I live now, but I wouldn't have been able to do that

You can't practically do much IFR flying in a non-turboed/oxygened plane
in Colorado anyway - have you seen what the MEAs are like? If it's IMC
and you're in a non-turboed, non de-iced aircraft it's probably a no-go
due to the MEAs exceeding the altitude you can fly at and icing.
