I am getting ready to move back out west, after having knee surgery back in my hometown. I have about 900-1200$ per month to spend on a year lease and I have found apartments in that price range in all locations. I also have found jobs in multiple different fields that I could apply for in all locations.
Summer Activities arent so much a matter, but mountain biking and fishing are my main warm weather hobby. I can mountain bike and fish in all places.
The important part of the decision is skiing destination. I would either be skiing Jackson/Targhee, Big Sky and bridger bowl, or Alta/Snowbird. I have skied all but bridger and loved all of them. I dont ski park as much as alot of bros on here, only about 25% of the time. I am looking to get into backcountry and I do mostly off piste when skiing at resorts.
So where would you guys pick, given the options and conditions above. If you'd like to throw in some gabber about living conditions (i.e. big town of salt lake vs small town of jackson, or other comparisons) or Job opportunities (major companies in salt lake vs whatever in jackson hole) than by all means go for it. However im really trying to decide where I would the most optimal ski experience for a whole season.
