Salt Lake City: Anyone Live There?

I'm considering a somewhat of a lateral move to SLC in the near future (like next week). How is the Cost of Living? The local amenities?
I've don a little research, which mostly seems to be around people who freak out over the Mormon population. People are people, I doubt that would bother me.
Currently I have a job I can tolerate, and somewhat enjoy, with a ton of freedom working remotely in New Orleans, but would have to move to Baltimore soon most likely.
Or I can make a lateral move to SLC, work in office, doing similar things working for a company with way better benefits (including a 401k match).
Anyone have any experience there?

It's nice, close to the mountains, the people are some of the kindest people you will ever meet, clean, ect. Night life leaves much to be desired. There's lots of outdoor activities in the near vicinity, however.

Are you totally against moving to Baltimore?

Been there for a work a few times. Being able to drive up to Park City or to the Unita forest is nice. There is a lot of out door activities that you can do, great hiking, skiing, etc. However, the food is pretty average at best. As mentioned the people were really nice.
A nice plus, SLC airport is a delta hub. That's a nice advantage that most cities its size do not have.

I thought the quality of life in SLC was terrific. Been away for a while but I liked it. The real difference is cultural. East coast was great for the urban experience. But the west (utah, etc.) is great for wholesome folks and the mountains for ski and hiking are very close. Airport access first rate. Economy is strong. Temperature inversions are becoming a nuisance in the SLC valley however.
Depends on what floats your boat.

If you love skiing/snowboarding, hiking, camping, and biking move there. If you don't love those things then don't. The outdoors is the draw there, there is no other reason to live there.

I've known several people who have ended up there for work and they all say the same thing - boooooooring. If you like skiing though, might be up your alley
If you need Baltimore advice, start another thread and I'll tell you everything you need to know. It's an awesome city if you know what you're doing

Just chiming in....already been said.....I love park city and the surrounding area. If you like any type of outdoor life.....running, hiking, skiing, snow boarding, bird watching, etc....it is the place for you.
I want to retire to the park city area....Logan seems sorta cool as well.

people get off work at 5 freaking o'clock & all seem to be on the road at the same time. By 6, all gone. Weird man.

I go up there a lot now, as my in-laws have a home in Park City and that's where my wife grew up. I can probably get her in here to give more comments, but I know that there are many people that live in Park City and make the commute down to SLC. It's about a 25 minute ride, and it's a really scenic drive. Could be a lot worse.
If I were to move to the SLC area, I would probably go this route. I love the small town feel of Park City, the festivals, the outdoor activities, the fantastic summer weather, and of course, the wintersports. Something to consider.
