Do you ski or snowboard? I haven't traveled the world, but I have to say, nothing else I've ever seen compares to Utah snow. When you measure packed power and fresh powder in feet instead of inches, you know it's good...

My one complaint about Utah (besides all the mormons) is the way they make their milkshakes. I know it sounds trivial (I am a bit of a milkshake connoisseur.) But when I lived there for a couple of years, it was torture. I'm a purist. A milkshake should be drunk through a straw. In Utah, they make everything thick... like a blizzard at Dairy Queen. And don't get me wrong, I love a good blizzard. But when I want a chocolate malt, I want to be able to drink it through a straw. And when you ask for the shake a little thinner, so you can drink it through the straw - the kid behind the counter looks at you like you just ordered a stake that could be eaten with a spoon. It's a cross between confusion and disgust.

I love to ski (don't do it nearly enough), but I haven't made it to Utah to do so. Hopefully, one day.

Obviously you don't want a malt to be eaten with a spoon. Leave it to the Mormons to take the fun out of milkshakes! (I kid, I kid).
