Also Driggs (Teton foothills). Higher elevation, more severe winters but there's no better location for mountain access. Small tourist-oriented town, but pretty diverse. Commute out of Idaho Falls or Jackson Hole (or four+ hour cruise-control drive to SLC). Don't know about schools. Actually I'm sure it's "school" singular.

Holladay. Right in the foothills, instant access to numerous canyons and ski hills, hiking, climbing, mountain biking etc. Many outdoor oriented people, appropriate food and drink.
Sugarhouse: Similar, university district so more diversity.
Park City. Awesome venue, very touristy, very $$$.
The rest of the valley is heavily LDS, especially west valley.
