Some reviews made it seem as though the reasonable prices attracted a bit of a bad element, but some reviewers seemed to love it there. Yes. Ogden is a fantastic town. Absolutely beautiful in that area. 2 Quote

Salt Lake City is a valley surrounded by mountains and when the winds die down and cold air sets in, the smog just lingers over the city. Friends that used to live out there moved out because of it. I hear it's really bad for those with respiratory problems. Spectacular place to visit, but I wouldn't live there. Edited January 7, 2019 by indiggio 2 Quote

I hear it's really bad for those with respiratory problems. Plenty of places in "SLC" proper that are not in the typical smog and still a 30-45 minute drive to LCC, BCC, PC or Basin/Powmow. Or just man up and buy above the smog, in the little town of Alta or something up by Brighton. Mill Creek is also an option.... Edited January 7, 2019 by GSSucks 2 Quote

I believe it's still within the valley area, as the mountains are immediately to the East. https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2018/01/09/utahs-air-quality-is-sickening-even-killing-locals-year-round-new-research-suggests/ 1 Quote

tarponhead Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 killington, pico, sugarbush, as many of those three as possible.Ski Mt Ellen on a Thursday if you can manage that. It’s $30 throwback Thursday’s all season long. Only good for Mt Ellen area but that is plenty 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 Yeah I read something about the air being bad. How bad is it?It's supposedly getting bad. In Jackson hole last year I remember the local news did a story on the influx in Utah. Utah is still on my list landing spots at some point in the future. Quote

I read that they're taking steps to improve the air quality (moving buses to natural gas/electric), but I think they've got a pretty long road to hoe. Quote

That is a bummer about the air quality in Utah. I have been trying to find a reasonably priced place to retire close to great skiing. I have a 1 1/2 hour drive to blue now so 45 minutes and under would be wonderful, the SLC (Ogden) area seemed perfect. Quote

Much better as an adult as it was to me as a kid. There are some really good restaurants and bars, Claude’s is great, the parks are great, Blue is close, the AT and Lehigh Gap are close, relatively cheap to live. 1 Quote
