I live in Salt Lake City, and I really don't see it much here. I am younger than the average age by quite a bit (so take this with heaps of salt), but at my company we have programmers in their 60's and 70's.
Maybe some of the more wannabe SV type startups with 100x more sales bros than devs might be more ageist, but generally in the enterprise or consulting world (and even education) where I've spent my time, it seems most older developers are respected for their experience.
I do get nervous about this too though, because of what I hear elsewhere in the industry. It also seems tough to not cap out at a ceiling very early on in the career if you're not climbing some ladder.
