Just have to deal with the occasional twister. Can't wait until tornado season so that I can do some more storm chasing. :w00t:
I am seriously jealous of you in SLC. One of the places I want to eventually settle in after school. SLC, Denver/Boulder and Portland are the tops of my list. Mostly cause I love mountains, skiing, road biking, mountain biking, backpacking, hiking...etc. If you enjoy the outdoors ichi, you sure have a lot at your finger tips there in SLC. I have a mad crush on SLC if you can't tell.

I was born and raised in Japan, I am city boy~ :) All those things you've listed doesn't interest me. If it did, prob SLC would be better place... but not for me. I have not seen snow in my life til moved here. lol Winter time, I just hibernate whole time, it's too damn cold. Summer time, I'm busy w motorsports & sports (soccer, tennis, softball, etc). Utah only have 2 seasons: Winter & Summer and never Spring or Fall... well maybe day or two of Spring or Fall.
I guess, this proves that grass is greener on other side of the fence :bellyroll:

I've been to all 3 that you mentioned; Portland, Boulder and SLC. Out of all of them, esp if you love to mtn bike, Portland for sure! Plus Oregon doesn't have sales tax.
I was in Denver this past May and that touch is a huge pot town... Marijuana dispenseries everywhere. Most of the city looks pretty beat up and I thought the folks there were hippie-ish.
SLC is nice too but the Mormom church on every corner like 7-11 gets old quick. I went there to go hiking on Bryce Canyon and Zion but to also go check out the Miller Motorsports track in Tooele. The caravan I was with stopped at TGI in SLC and the bar was actually in the far back corner. Their drinks were watered down and the bottles have a special tag with less alcohol by volume (about 3%). The waitress also mentioned 3 state rules, 1)no double fisting, 2)can't order a drink w/out ordering food 3)No Happy Hour.
I also like to play sports and currently in 2 leagues; basketball and softball. I used to have a roadbike and a mountain bike (Felt Z25 full carbon w/SRAM components) and a Santa Cruz Blur. When it comes to winter, it's all about snowboarding and some of the best mountains are in California -Tahoe and Mammoth. It was surprised to hear all of the snow resorts in Colorado were already closed when Mammoth's last day is July 4th weekend.
