I've lived in UT for 30+ years. I love it here. I'm not LDS and my family and I have done well here. We love the skiing, fishing, and the active lifestyle. We live in Syracuse about 30 mins north of the airport. If your family is outdoorsy Utah has so much to offer. My kids are still in elementary so I can't comment on the high school situation. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
