About Salt Lake City
Salt Lake combines the amenities of a major metropolitan area with the friendliness of a small, western city. Hosting the Olympic Winter Games of 2002 enhanced the community's profile as a world-class travel destination, while showcasing Salt Lake as an unspoiled, family-friendly destination. Whether you visit for a convention, skiing, shopping, or sightseeing, you will find that Salt Lake is the right place in any season.

Salt Lake is nestled in a valley at the foot of two mountain ranges-the Wasatch to the east and the Oquirrhs to the west. In spring, the canyons are adorned with wildflowers and impromptu waterfalls. During summer, hiking, rock climbing, and mountain biking are just minutes away. When the snow flies, it graces the slopes at ten world-class ski resorts including Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude. Daily sunshine, low humidity, and refreshing mountain breezes combine for a comfortable year-round climate.

Real Estate
Salt Lake City is safe, clean, and affordable, with magnificent access to the great outdoors. Just 20 minutes from downtown, you can enjoy the wilderness or bike the canyons. A half-hour and you're on the slopes of Alta, Deer Valley or Park City, ski resorts famous for their consistently good snow (Salt Lake City gets 58 inches of snowfall a year). Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches national parks are roughly four hours away, as is Moab, an area that boasts some of the best hiking and mountain biking in the country.  Salt Lake City has low housing costs; the median price of a single-family home is just $138,700.  These numbers are trending healthily upward: Homes have appreciated 7.9% in the last year, besting the pace of places like San Jose, Calif.

Weather
Salt Lake City enjoys four separate seasons.  Summer is usually warm, dry, and sunny with low humidity.  Fall starts to bring the colors out with cooler temperatures.  Winter usually enjoys above freezing temperatures during the day with powdery snow in the mountains.  Spring is usually nice enough for a round of golf in the valley, with skiing in the mountains.
