Go for it.
I fly 1979 P337H out of KBJC. It is my first aircraft, I bought it six months after my PPL. No regrets.
Pressurized Skymasters are great for flying in the mountains. It is a very safe and forgiving aircraft. It flies nice on one engine. It can climb high and go fast (195 KTAS, 26 gph). It can stay low and go slow (135 KTAS, 15 gph). You get lots of options on how to fly it.
You will love handling and high density altitude performance. Leadville, Granby, Telluride and Glenwood Springs will be easy for you even on a hot July afternoon. Your passengers will enjoy looking at the mountain scenery instead of studying rivets on the wing and engine nacelles up close. Pressurization will spoil you rotten in Colorado.
I cannot think of a better aircraft for Colorado mountain flying.
