Each HS has a ward house next door and that is where most after school activities take place. Your kids can end up excluded from many things. If you head up to heathanville(Park City) that will not be a issue but houses are not cheap.
If you are non Mormon and want to live in the valley get a good non Mormon real estate agent. The areas in the valley can very a lot on how your children will be accepted. A good agent will get you to the better options.
If you have anyone who has annoyed you lately visit the Temple and sign their name and address in the guest book!
Keep one last thing in mind. If you live in the west a 6 AM departure from a Eastern airport really sucks. If you live in the east a 6 AM west coast departure is a non event.
This^^^^^^ I moved to Heber City when I got hired in 91, and stopped into the local drive in diner. Asked for a cup of coffee, and it was a classic pin-drop quiet, everybody in the whole place turned and looked kind of event. It has been Californicated since then, but I will never forget that... But great golf, probably the most underrated golf in the country. Heber has an airport so if you are into FLAP flying, it is a good place. And the skiing is second to none.
