Replying to Where to live in between Ogden and SLC?

I am doing a little planning ahead for next summer and trying to figure out where I want to live. I currently live in Sugarhouse, and I think I will most likely be working in Ogden. I don't want to make that commute everyday. I still want to ski in the Cottonwood canyons and be able to hang out in SLC without too much hassle. I am looking at areas to live in between SLC and Ogden, but I don't know a lot about the areas. Any tips in places to check out, or places to avoid?
