This weekend Aaron and I were in Salt Lake City for a ski trip. The ironic thing is that we realized that this is the very first ski trip we've ever taken just the two of us. How romantic! We flew out Friday late afternoon and arrived at our hotel in less time than it takes us to drive to Mammoth.
Our overall impression is that this place is great! We stayed in downtown Salt Lake, but the drive up to Park City is a quick 30 miles. Seriously, it couldn't be any easier. Everyone is super nice - not just the service industry folks who are hoping for a tip - everyone. The weather worked out great for us and we had fresh powder to play on all day.
As for Salt Lake being the Mormon mecca, we did a driving tour of Temple Square Saturday after riding all day. But other than that, the people we have interacted with have really been promoting the drinking and have downplayed the Mormon influence. Also, it's hilarious just how busy the state run liquor store is. We watched the parking lot from our hotel room and cracked up Friday night.
And yes, of course we started dreaming of buying rental property in Park City. The prices are 'reasonable' compared to Mammoth with a surprising number of places in an affordable six figure range. Of course there are loads of properties listed in the real estate book similarly priced to the multi-million dollar Silver Star development that we toured. Oh we can dream!
