6’2" is still 9 inches taller than the average woman in Utah. Is Park City some kind of extreme international anomaly?

I didn’t mean to imply that evey woman was 6’2"+ . Let me be more specific. In twenty years living in Louisiana, Texas, and Florida my wife never met a woman anywhere near her height with the exception of a set of basketball playing twins that lived in our condo building in Austin. We hit Park City and she sees women that is 6’0"+ pretty much daily. Not every woman, but also not unusual to see at least one. I do not know the reason for this.

well to be fair the amount of people in Park City Utah that have Dutch ancestry is 1.219%
so on this chart its like half.

TIL that Mormons are the just normal Americans that grew too tall and were driven insane by the altitude.
“So why aren’t Dutch people all Mormon?”, you might ask. Simple: cannabis and women with full legal control to do or not do what they want with their bodies are excellent inoculations against Mormonism.

Can I join LDS so I can also be inoculated?

I’m afraid you’ve gotten the order wrong. If you ask nicely by way of completing the necessary paperwork, you can visit the Netherlands for the inoculation, though!
