Hey, wait a minute..... that's who I was at Epic and am at TGR. No stealing my name!!
<--See my avatar.
Oh dear, I'll try to avoid that then
I think you'll get that almost anywhere out West. Well, until we run out of water. Then we'll have to run a pipeline from the Great lakes. I'm sure you won't mind.
Yup ... build a university and they will come! Some will stay.
Actually know Reno stores etc much better than Roseville or Sac from past trips than Calif even though we live in CA !
Population of Bend has exploded from 15k to 90k in past 20 years -not sure that's a good thing.
Outdoor amenities and skiing though are fine.
If you're seriously thinking about the Nevada side of things and considering Reno, come visit us. We'd love to show you around.
Would be delighted to take you up on that. Thank you. The wife is a little familiar with Reno from her trips to Fallon and a few visits to Squaw. I've never been. I will certainly make contact with you and Phil when we head out that way. We've just been shopping online and researching areas that way. We definitely want to get out and do some scouting. We will either end up somewhere around the Wasatch or Tahoe.
I think you could be pleasantly surprised how nice the NW edge of Reno can be.
NW edge - good to know.
We are in SLC right now and I will tell you,we cannot wait to get home. There is a huge difference between Salt Lake and Reno, especially in the summer. Utah gets horrible inversions and the fog just sits on the city. Want to compare lakes? A Salt Lake verses Lake Tahoe? No comparison
The cost of living is also less in Reno too.. Come look before prices go back through the roof. If you want a bit of culture, SF is a short 3 hours away...9 with traffic

Utah is more about the snow than it is Salt Lake. That and it is more centrally located to so much great skiing. There are some nice reservoirs east of park city and south of midway with the Provo river. We've even been looking over on the south side of the Wasatch. I really like the Brighton/Solitude area but you can't have domesticated animals in the cottonwood canyons due to it being the Salt Lake watershed. I'm not interested in being in a "city". I've spent the better part of my life in and around Detroit. I travel a lot for work but it's usually to another city or outlying area in close proximity to a large city. Two winters ago I was in Long Beach CA which worked out well and I got to get in a bunch of skiing at Mt. High, Big Bear, Snow Summit, and Mammoth. I even hit Taos on the way home and caught it on closing weekend. I presently have a bunch of associates out in Reno right now installing equipment in that new battery plant Tesla is building out there. I had some health issues to deal with or I would've likely made a move to get on that project. I committed to something local and more free time friendly so I could get everything taken care of. Now that it's all done I am about to start training again to get my ass back in shape.
We will be looking to make our move in two years time. I still have one school age child here who is just wrapping up his sophomore year in high school. Once he is done with high school I am out of here. My retirement will come in just about the same time frame. It's time for lots of skiing, flying, fishing, some travel, and lots of time with the (11 so far) grand kids in a mountain ranch setting where I can teach them all the things they need to know to survive.....and of course, ski!! So we're looking at taking some time over the next couple of years to scout it all out and make a decision with regards to exactly where we want to buy. We have 3 kids in MI, I in Vegas, 1 in Texas, and 1 in Colorado. My youngest may follow us West. We shall see.
And closest to [insert your favorite Tahoe ski resort].
