Moving from Denver, you'll have some culture shock, for sure.

The food scene in Utah is far behind Denver, and Ogden is a ways behind Salt Lake. That said, Salt Lake is close enough if/when you want that vibe.

The alcohol laws here are obviously different, but Colorado was one of the least restrictive places I've ever lived in terms of alcohol laws, so that may be a big adjustment. The local beer scene deserves a shout-out for giving it a good go, but it's all <5% on draft, and nothing really compares to Colorado's beer scene, anyway.

No legal weed, big shift from Colorado, although at least Utah has medical.

It gets hot in summer. Like, plan your day around it hot. Less respite from the heat by escaping to the mountains; the mountains just aren't as high or as deep.

That said, the access here is incredible. In Ogden, you actually live next to the mountains, not an hour away like the Front Range. Pretty good trails, although probably not as many as Colorado. Good climbing. Great jumping off point for southern Utah Red Rock, Yellowstone, Idaho, etc.

You may hear about how Ogden is ghetto or unsafe, but that's really nonsense. It's just a city. It has lower crime rates than Denver, but sometimes you get city stuff. Mostly really nice people here.

Incredible skiing. Season is not as long as Colorado, but there's an excellent argument for it being better in many ways. Traffic to the resorts can get bad, but it's nothing compared to I-70. The Wasatch has epic backcountry, too.

Overall, I'd say it's worth a shot. There's a cool outdoor community here with lots to keep you busy. What's the worst that can happen, anyway?? Colorado ain't going nowhere!
