Here’s a good article that goes over some good reasons why Utah is a great place to relocate to:
Thinking of relocating, but you’re not sure where to go? Then you should think Utah. With great job opportunities, historically low interest rates, and plenty of properties priced to sell, there’s never been a better time to make the move to the “Beehive” state. And if you’re thinking Utah is mainly about all that awesome winter snow, it’s time to think again. After all, Utah has four distinct seasons, each with an abundance of reasons that make it a great place to live year-round.
Winter: Okay, let’s get it over with. Utah license plates don’t boast the “Greatest Snow on Earth” for kicks. The fact of the matter is that, when it comes to winter, Utah truly is a wonderland. And it’s little wonder that the International Olympic Committee chose Park City, Utah, as the site of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. And now that the games are history, Utah residents and vacationers can enjoy Olympic venues “up close and personal” as public facilities open for year-round recreation. But all the winter action isn’t in Park City. The Rocky Mountains boast an array of world class resorts, many of which are just minutes from city centers and offer everything from Alpine and Cross-country skiing and snowboarding, to snowmobiling, ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing, and more. Avid fishermen can fish Utah waters any time of year, and even ice fish on near by frozen reservoirs. NBA fans can watch the Utah Jazz take on their opponents at Energy Solutions Arena. And with the winter Holidays come the amazing Ice Castles of Midway Utah, an other-worldly experience where visitors can negotiate a maze of 30 incredible ice towers jutting upward into the winter sky. And no Utah winter is complete without taking in the spectacular Christmas lights on Salt Lake City’s historic Temple Square, along with the many free concerts by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Then, in January, it’s back to Park City for the annual weeklong Sundance Film Festival. And for those who enjoy great eating and shopping, Utah offers a vast selection of stores and eateries that will not disappoint.
Spring: There’s that snow again. As the spring sun thaws out the valleys, diehard skiers can take advantage of some of the best spring and night skiing conditions anywhere. In the lower elevations, weather permitting, it’s a great time for picnicking, hiking, and biking. And while you’re at it, you might as well break out the fishing poles, dust off the kayaks, the canoes, the quads, and last but not least, the golf clubs. Utah has a large number of golf courses, many of which are as beautiful as they are challenging. Car trips up the canyons or to such destinations as Timpanogos Cave, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon or a host of other natural wonders also make for great springtime activities. Naturally, with all that fresh mountain air working up your appetite, you’ll want to stop at one of those great eateries you’ve heard so much about (see Winter) on your way home.
