We think it's time for Mother Nature to start doing her job. She's made our snowmakers work really hard (they've made 36 percent more snow this year than last year) and they've done an amazing job of creating excellent skiing/riding conditions. But now it's time for you to do your job.

Hundreds of people who agree with us gathered in the Resort plaza today to watch members from the Northern Ute Tribe perform a snow blessing ceremony. According to the long-range weather forecast the blessing is already being heard. Snow is expected in Utah within the next week. We Believe!

Watch the video below and start to believe!

Hey ... looks like this ski season's (2012-13) snow dance worked as well. I was beginning to be worried ... but, not after skiing 13" of powder this morning. Keep it up Snow Gods!!!

Great idea. Here's hoping for more snow...

I hate to think that the snow conditions are horrible enough to do this, but it's an interesting idea. I really like how the video allows you to hear directly what the Northern Ute Tribe thinks about doing this, and not just what the author's opinion is.
