You better like skiing ALLOT because in general that's about it!

You better like skiing ALLOT because in general that's about it! Well, I guess that's it.... Unless one likes to hunt, fish, hike, mountain bike, off-road (with 4wd, bikes, quads, or whatever). Or maybe enjoys going to pretty decent college FB and/or BB (choice of teams here), NBA, and minor league BB. If not, there is always skiing... I'm born and raised SoCal and would much prefer living in Utah, but that's just me.

You better like skiing ALLOT because in general that's about it! It's to bad you didn't like Utah. I have lived here for 18 years. I lived in New York, Colorado, Idaho, and New Mexico before that and I would have to say I like Utah the best. I wish we had more race tracks available here but that's about the only draw back I can see.

As far as automotive racing goes, Utah has some of the best world class racing available, such as the Bonneville Salt Flats and the new Miller Sports Park. We also have Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City, which is a great 1/4 mile drag strip and circle track. The Mopars at the Strip show is also just a few hours away each March, which is very cool. Also, If you like the outdoors, Utah is pretty tough to beat. It seems like the Olympics loved Utah back in 2002. Utah is a great place to live. I have lived in many places around the USA, and would not trade Utah for any place on earth. I can not think of anything which Utah is lacking, except for the ocean and beach. I just love how Utah is favorite target for people to make fun of, but whatever, I'm sure your state rocks. Remember what your Mother told told you, If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Good advice!

If you move back, maybe we could go skiing some time...LOL:) By the way I have lived in Utah most of my life and I have never skied once, and probably never will. On a side note, I lived in Washington State for a few years and had a great time.

Headed east out of Salt Lake up through the bowling alley at midnight, slipped er into 4 Loc, put the hammer down, and enjoyed some of the best sprint car racing I've ever had. I absolutely had a blast! I will get to go back for a meeting in September, looking forward to it. 5814415-MyPictures068.jpg (51 downloads)
