tell me you don’t live in SLC, without telling me you don’t live in Slc.
been here for 7 years, currently live in Sugarhouse. If you want some actual info and not APC junk posts feel free to PM me. Not a Mormon, live by many bars and notice literally no difference to my 18 years in California except a cleaner safer city. Lots of surrounding cities as well that are not Mormon and a great place to raise a family, although it’s gotten expensive as well.
the Mormon stigma for Utah is very outdated. Unless you plan to move past the tip down in Provo.

. Slightly TIC and I’ll freely admit no firsthand knowledge but when the wife and I made the call to live in base it was a 3 horse race between SEA, LAX, and SLC. One very good friend and one acquaintance related experiences very similar to forgotmyhat. They said it was all fine and dandy and you wouldn’t notice a difference….until your kids went to school. They were straight up ostracized. Really bad stuff. To paraphrase “It’s a Mormon club and you ain’t in it.”

We lived in Lehi just south of the point of the mountain. Cool area with easy access to airport and the mountains. Not LDS so we stuck out like a sore thumb in our neighborhood.
Town we loved the most was Midway. 4 awesome golf courses with a cheap annual pass. Buy a side by side and go explore the mountains. Boating on Deer Creek Reservoir. Fishing in the Provo River. 20 mins to park city skiing. Less than an hour to the airport.

Not accurate. Park city weather is great more than it is freezing. Unless your terms of freezing are different. But park city real estate is pretty unaffordable, even at our salary. Unless you can splurge 3 million on a home through other measures. It’s simply not the same or not worth it to live up there. You will just be house poor (again, unless you have other measures of income/wealth)

True. With one massive exception: Utah Mormons. You ain’t part of the club! I transplanted there in 7th grade. Went to high school and college there. Grew up in Holiday. I left at 23 when I joined the military. My entire family left soon thereafter. I would never…ever, ever, ever, ever subject my kids to that sh*t. Sorry, just telling it like it is.

My kids are grown, so I don't have any issues not being in the "club". It can be challenging for some families depending on where you live, because so many activities and time surround the church you get "left out"
Keep in mind there are some things to get used to regarding alcohol rules and if you want to go shopping on Sundays a lot of / most locally owned businesses are closed. Most all National chain restaurants and stores are open.
Hope this wasn't a APC junk post. Keep in mind your experience in Sugarhouse isn't the same further south in Utah Valley. There are large towns with one bar or none at all. It gets more conservative and "Mormon" the further south you go. Just saying......

I live in SLC near the U. Trying to inject some levity into what I figured would be a touchy subject. I love Utah.
