Worshiping snow gods

For the twenty-two winters that we’ve lived in Park City, snow has always be present and in all but one exception, very generous. In spite of starting early December instead of November, this current season proves to be no exception to that rule. In the past week or so, we’ve been pummeled by that California storm which has brought a huge amount of snow all over Utah. At the top of Park City’s lifts, there’s now 75” of settled snow. In our yard, it’s close to 30”. Snow banks are growing impressively everywhere in town and nowhere more than in historic Main Street where snow removal is more than ever a huge challenge, especially a few days before the start of the Sundance Film Festival. So, in spite of our legitimate concerns about global warming and our fears that we might soon be running out of white stuff, the snow gods have so far been very good to us. Without little doubt, this is a solid proof that my steady worshiping on the slopes does bring flakes down!
