Replying to Why Univ. of Utah is the best school in the country if you ski.

Everyone knows about the proximity and quality of skiing in Utah. One thing I think that is overlooked is the quality of education available at the U. This article http://www.economist.com/node/18284013 explains why Mormon culture breads success and I'm of the opinion that this attitude of "self improvement" can be gleamed by non-mormon at the school. On the other hand as long as you have a pulse, they'll let you in, so there's something for everybody. Also tuition is pretty cheep.
