Snowbasin Makes Magic

People are freaking out that we have not had a lot of snow. The fact is, I cannot remember skiing on Turkey Day that often and I really don't recall many years where skiing was all that good before mid-December. The good news is that even if Mother Nature has decided to keep the white stuff in her pocket, human ingenuity persists.

The Snowbasin blog has been showing off their 600 acres of snowmaking equipment. The weather has been pretty cool and they have been trying to pump as much snow onto the mountain as possible. They want to open this weekend but are facing the challenges of inversion and time. Here's hoping they can continue to work their magic and get the lift operating soon.

Now..repeat after me...."Dear (insert religious deity here), please bring us loads and loads of snow!"
