What is better Salt Lake City/Park City area or Denver/Silverthorn Area (Ski Area) regarding climate?

I wanted to know if Salt Lake City/Park City was as dry of a climate as Denver/Silverthorn Area is? Also, if it is easy to get to the slopes from Salt Lake City drive-wise and if Salt Lake City is a nice place to live? Is it difficult to breath like in Colorado Springs,Colorado? I know it was hard to breath in the dry,mile high air and all my joints hurt. I am considering moving out there but wanted to know if it was worth it.What is better Salt Lake City/Park City area or Denver/Silverthorn Area (Ski Area) regarding climate?
The snow in colorado is overrated. Everyone makes such a big deal out of our snow but there are better ski areas with much more snow in utah and montana. This year the base depth in a ski area in virginia is higher than the base depth in silverthorn. Utah is wetter snowier and colder, so ski there!What is better Salt Lake City/Park City area or Denver/Silverthorn Area (Ski Area) regarding climate?
I wasn't as keen on moving to SLC, but it grew on me. I'm big on public transpo, so I like the access TRAX (train) provides me. As for skiing, you've got 4 resorts within 15 minutes of the city, not including the ones in Park City. Snowbird is the locals fav. Getting there is generally easy, depending on weather and your mode of transportation (My Jetta probably wouldn't cut it on a snowy day, but they plow it somewhat regularly). They also have public transpo buses to the big 4. Summer is also great if you're into biking or hiking/climbing. However, if you've got respiratory problems, you might want to give SLC a pass. We've got really terrible inversion, especially if we go without a snow/rainstorm for weeks. Park City's air is better, but it's expensive.
