BUSINESS: Sell us on Idaho, please

We would like to ask your readers about the weather and if indeed Idaho is business friendly. We were "sold" on moving our corporation to Utah but have since had many second, third and fourth thoughts about that move. We are in the process of moving and wherever we end up relocating we will offer some jobs.

Questions. How is the weather (honestly) in the winter (although we do ski and are used to weekends in the mountains we are still So. Californians so this is somewhat of an important topic).

Next question, do your readers feel that Idaho is a good place to relocate a business (we are manufacturers with no EPA issues. We ship worldwide so we would not be depending upon Idaho consumers for our income) as far as taxes, etc.? E-mail seegravesco@yahoo.com.
