My family traveled from Western NY for our traditional skiing trip to Utah last week. I understand it hasn't been the best year for you guys, but if it's any consolation, it was actually a pleasant break from the brutal winter we've been having in the NorthEast. We stayed in a VRBO house in Cottonwood Heights, and the owners were fantastic. Even though we didn't have any fresh powder from Sunday to Thursday, it was actually quite enjoyable to ski in the sunshine and warmth after the -5 to 5 highs we've had. We skied Brighton, Alta, and SnowBird, then went back to Cottonwood and BBQ'd in t'shirts. It didn't suck ! Then to top it off, we finished off the week with another day at Alta with a blast of fresh snow on Friday. Great way to end the week ! We've taken this trip for the past 5 years, but this is the 1st time that anyone commented on how friendly everyone is in your state. The MIL/FIL travel to Europe, NYC, Seattle, and Florida quite a bit, and loved how friendly and inviting everyone is in SLC. Utah is on my short list to move to, though I don't think it can happen until I retire in 5 - 10 years. |
