From Deseret News archives:
Ogden hailed as a top place 'you've gotta go'
City also graces magazine cover as 'crown community'
In the company of Malibu and San Francisco, the magazine says "locals have always considered Ogden their very own playground. But being home to heaps of fresh snow (about 500 inches of the real deal annually), three sprawling ski resorts (Powder Mountain, Snowbasin and Wolf Mountain) and all sorts of daredevil sports (whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking), it was only a matter of time till word spread about just how good life is in the western foothills of the Wasatch Range.
"And spread to big-name brands such as Salomon, Atomic and Suunto, no less, whose outdoorsy employees are moving here in droves and bringing their friends transforming the little town that hosted 2002 Olympic curling and downhill events into one of the West's hottest adventure spots."

• And Ogden city, with the Salomon Center, is on the cover of American City & County magazine.
Ogden was selected as a "Crown Community" for its work renovating and completely changing the look and feel of the downtown area.
"American City & County's Crown Communities Awards recognize those extra efforts from local governments that have lasting effects on residents, businesses and the environment."
