Top 3 Reasons To Visit Salt Lake City This Winter

By Joseph Tranturder


Going on a business trip? Wondering what to pack? Getting ready for a business trip can always be stressful. Knowing how much to bring and what to bring is a question many ask before each trip. Bringing too much on a trip can be a hassle.

But bringing too little can cause a great deal of stress. Following some simple guidelines each time you are leaving on a trip can make all the difference in the world.

There's a reason the 2012 Olympics were held here. Utah offers 14 great ski resorts around the state. 10 of those resorts are easily accessible from the Salt Lake City airport. The downhill, Super G and combined ski events were held at the Park City, Snowbasin and Deer Valley resorts if you want to ski the places the pros did.

Snowbird is a tourist favorite, but places like Brighton are local favorites that offer a different flavor of snow sports throughout the valley. For another, Salt Lake City is home to the international performing group The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

You may want to find a portable DVD player that you can use on your trip. If you pack your children's favorite movie you can give them a DVD player and let them hook up their headphones to the machine.

Check the weather for your destination to determine the appropriate wardrobe. Knowing the weather will help you remember to pack your light jacket for your business trip to San Diego, or it can help you remember to pack your thicker coat when booking your stay at Salt Lake City hotels.

If you are finding you can't fit all of your clothing items into your suitcase, get creative with what you wear on the plane. If you're brining one suit, for example, you can wear your suit jacket on the plane to save space. Simply hang the jacket up in the hotel when you arrive.

The wrinkles should fade away. If all else fails, utilize the hotel's dry cleaning services. The majority of hotels offer this service for their guest, including hotels in Salt Lake City.

Finally, Salt Lake is home to one of the most extensive genealogical centers in the world. The Family History Library located in downtown Salt Lake offers 2.4 million rolls of microfilmed family records for anyone to look at.

The records originate from all over the world: the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Computers will give you access to millions of records online from around the world. The Library is constantly seeking additions to their records and has a friendly staff to help you get into finding out where you came from. Come in to start unveiling your lineage.

Finally, you should book your flight as soon as you possibly can so that you are able to choose your own seat. You want to make sure that you can keep your children near you throughout the entire flight.

Packing for a business trip should never be a stressful experience. By following these simple guidelines, you can simplify the process, making the preparation for a business trip more about the trip than about how much you can squeeze into your suitcase.
