Replying to Experience moving to a completely new city

So i grew up right outside of NYC and went to school here, lived here my whole life. Have an awesome job here and make a ton of money so I can't complain. Most of my friends / family is here as well.

I am a massive skier obviously and can't get enough of it. I got the opportunity to potentially move to Salt Lake City for an insane job opportunity with a really awesome company. Would be a pay raise from my salary now, not to mention the cost of living would be much much lower. Plus I would be able to get a new car and be so close to some amazing skiing.

Now I know this all sounds great. But I literally have zero connections of any sort in SLC. No friends, family, etc. I was wondering if anyone out there has ever made a move like this and established a new life somewhere else? How was it? It would be a 2 year commitment so its not really that long in the long run, but still something I have never done before. Especially being mid 20's I feel like its hard to break into new friend circles, etc. But Im seriously considering it.
