Working in Ogden

[Loon]

Possible job opportunity working in Ogden. Never been to the area
before but the word is Utah gets some good snow. I'm not interested
in living in Ogden so how far out in the sticks can I get and still
keep the commute to downtown Ogden under an hour?



Priorities would be getting a place with at least 2 acres and being
able to sled, dirtbike, 4wheeler, hunt, fish, MTB and ski right out my
back door. This whole loading up the truck and driving to have fun
thing is for the birds.

Is this doable?

[Skidog]

Budget? Seems lime it should be possible for sure. Lots of open space just beyond ogden to the north, east, and west. Ogden is hardly a city though pretty rural. Some nice old homes too. Up n comer that ogden. Plus snowbasin passes are teh cheapz.

Like skidog said, what is your budget. Ogden is cheap as hell and I enjoyed hanging out there a few days. If you want to buy some real estate, contact MD9. He can give you the scoop on Ogden and the surrounding areas.

Check out Eden.

Well, the space to the West gets a little wet...

Liberty would be better for what you described.

Well, I was talking the whole valley up there. Bring a woman, though, and be happy entertaining yourself, cause ain't nothing going on up there, socially speaking.

You're close to lots of WMA's for Bird hunting, short drives to Elk and Muley country. If you bought a house up towards the bench you may be able to hunt out your back door if you are in Ogden, I know you can (archery) during Wasatch Extended Season in SLC.

benny do you have a woman cause it sure seems like your social life consists of pretending to know everything non ski related on a skiing based web site?

got a bro with a nice old house on a couple acres buttin up to what is/was wolf mnt. can't remember the name of the nierborhood but plenty of lots cribs for sale there or huntsville sounds like about what yourelookin for
hung out up on pineview last fri. bit of a shitshow but i'm sure once the water temps drop and the ogden valleys assortment of water craft get winterized it mellows out.

[Benny Profane]

Well, sounds like you live or spend time up there. How's the pickup scene? Away from the temple, I mean.

[Shredhead]

Bring a woman,

Or two.


It's a nice area with a lot to offer and it's pretty dam cheap.

[shroom]

dude, pickup scene for geezers != "the pickup scene"

let's compare like values.

[Benny Profane]

Would you prefer "hooking up", young man?

[Loon]

Budgie will be in the 250K range, I don't really want to spend more than that. Thanks for the help and to show my appreciation heres a naked girl picture for you savages.

[Skidog]

250k you should be able to score some nice digs up DAT Ogden way. Good luck. And yeah md9 (I think) does lots of restos in Ogden and does quality work. Owns the bar alleged too if I'm thinking of the right screen name. He would be a great resource.

Yep a great maggot, RE Agent, bar owner and skier. Definitely talk to him if you are moving that way.

I reached out to him Via FB...maybe he will chime in here in the thread now. He just finished a BEAUTIFUL resto...he does amazing work.

And skier??? Dude HUCKS HIS MEAT...... im sure he'd show you round Snowbasin too...you need a good local to get you to the goods at that place. I been there a dozen or so times and still feel totally lost. When theres 15" of fresh in LCC/BCC and only 10" at the basin....if i can make it..Basin wins...untracked all day up there usually.

Again good luck.

On the plus side, Ogden is the SLC town closest to Idaho (which is where most folks from the SLC area do their hunting and fishing). Just be aware that if you move out into the real boonies to save money that momo farm communities tend to be rather insular, to put it mildly. Aside from "bringing a woman", you'd probably need to pack some friends, buddies and social life in general. Probably be happiest paying extra to live up somewhere around the reservoir, like others said, where you can meet like minded folks.

[zion zig zag]

You'll probably be hard pressed to find a house with a couple of acres for under 300k in the upper valley. For that you'll probably have to push further out (Morgan county, Box Elder county).

Mind me asking where you may be working? I know there are a couple of large outdoor brands moving to town.

[Loon]

Lets just say I would be working in a federal building downtown somewhere. Thanks for the help mags, will reach out to MD9 if things pan out.

How is traffic on 84 and 15 during peak season and off season?
