Actually, the higher you are, the better. The homes that are built up against the side of the mountains (i.e. the "East Bench") are less inclined to see inversions inversion as those nearer to town, but the difference, in my opinion, is insignificant. Of course, you are talking to someone who absolutely detests winter, and our infamous inversions are the worst part of the season. Don't get me wrong. I love Salt Lake City, but the winter inversions are just flat out horrible.

Logan area, north of SLC, in a seperate valley, rates very high on nice places to live.
Jobs are iffy, tho....

We have our summer home there, and love it. Get a house on the east bench, above the winter inversions.
Most older houses don't even have air conditioning as summers are usually mild.

Cache Valley actually has a worse inversion period than SLC.

Logan has a tendency to get cold and stay really cold during the winter as they do get totally socked in with tan inversion! Alot of times that area is the coldest in Utah when the daily temps get reported on the TV broadcast!

Not to hijack, but do parts of Draper tend to stay out of the inversion?
