Looking forward to the winter and local days. Down the street from sils and a smiths. Also a temple on corner but there just people too.
    Did you end up with a job in SLC? Are you going to get a Basin pass? Let me know if you want to get a MTB ride in before winter starts.

        +1, took half the ride home to get the flies out of my car. The buffalo were relaxed, but the bugs are light torture in the physical sense.

            But the buffalo are so cool



            I need to go to Utah.
            Utah?
            Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

            So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

              Sup brahs,

              I am 95% sure I am leaving Dixie for a job in Ogden.

              Decided im def living in SLC though. Found a cheap place to land for a few months in Murray for $500 a month.

              Is this a strategic error? I can always move to sugarhose/downtown/a headier neighborhood in a few months after I get a lay for the land.

              Any good places to watch SEC football in the fall? Is there a strong Southern expat community in the valley?

              Also whats the deal with good live music. Saw String Cheese was just in PC this past weekend I think, but when it comes to getting good Jam bands/blue grass in the area what is the word??

              Gracias

                Ogden to SLC is a bitch of a commute. Murray is ok. Most of the live music is around downtown I think.

                Can't go wrong for $500/mo though, as long as you aren't stuck in a year lease.

                    Just so you know, most people here think "Dixie" is Southern Utah.

                      I did the SLC=>Ogden commute for a couple years, but my wife works in the SLC area and I was able to limit it to maybe 3-4 days per week. Murray is a reasonable place to land for $500.00.

                        Going north in the morning is fine. Commuted from 80 to 15 to 84 for a few weeks. Now in Layton. An hour to all resorts at most. 35 to basin. Lots of music and shows in slc and some in Ogden. Good economics and awesome backyard
                        I need to go to Utah.

                            Snowbasin or Pow Mow?

                            Ended up being able to live rent free with my new boss in an in law suite in Ogden for a few months so unfortunately have to ski up there for the remainder of the season.

                            Skied snowbasin pre olympics as a grom and remembered it being a little run down.

                            Obv they have changed that but in terms of terrain and snow quality what is the best option for a pass for the remainder of the saison??

                              Well I love pow mow and with new acreage it's really uncrowded for the most part. Parking is really there issue and the road. Either way can show you around there on Saturday if you want. Then go to basin and compare maybe.
                              I need to go to Utah.
                              Utah?

                                Pow mow skiing on the road. Watch for plows
