Utah is revolutionizing the ski industry, again.
In an unprecedented move the 14 resorts in the state have decided to remain open year round for skiing and riding.
All 14 resorts have embraced the idea, reports Ski Utah. Renowned across the world for The Greatest Snow on Earth®, Utah looks forward to creating a new trend for land use, functionality, and promotion of the ski culture in a fast paced, non-stop environment.
The resorts couldn’t say no to the possibility of tourists seeing what Utah has to offer in every season. Mountain biking, rock climbing, and hiking will remain popular as ever, now simply sharing the terrain with skiers.
Deer Valley will be hand grooming their runs. (Job openings available. Previous work as hair stylist with clipper guard #2 preferred.)
Snowlerbowling: PCMR and Canyons to offer the most extreme sport to grace a mountain town: bowling on snowbaldes. Gnar-strike turkey time!
Sundance will offer the first of its kind automated drink station with 59 unique flavors of iced cocoa.
Flylink: The Southern Utah resorts will now feature a zip line connecting the top of Brian Head to the base of Eagle Point. An amazing 1400' of vertical spanning 53 miles.
The Cottonwoods will have mountain biking, ski carrying Sherpas to guide you to and from the lifts and into backcountry adventure zones. BASS pass (Brighton, Alta, Solitude, Snowbird) required.
The Logan and Ogden area resorts will all be renamed “The Beiber Mountains” and play his music at every chair lift. Park features to be redone, mirror capacity quadrupled, complimentary hairspray on hand.
Wolf Mountain will be giving half price annual passes to Twilight movie "Team Jacob" fans.
Next year, Moab looks forward to opening for year round ski operations as Utah’s 15th resort. Arches National Monument will draw a phenomenal terrain park crowd, notes Ride Utah.

Topping the lis of luxury ski resorts (http://www.mountainyahoos.com/TopTenLuxuryResorts.html) Deer Valley is not your ordinary ski resort. There are a lot of activities going on there all year round assuring you that your money wouldn't be spent for nothing.

I think Ron needs a few more people to play April fools jokes on him so he gets the concept.

Ron. Take a look at the second picture. It's obviously a joke. Relax, and enjoy the end of the season :)

You had me going!

So Cat, you really screwed up here.
This is believable due to our horrible snow year:
"Passes from the 2011-12 season will be honored through December."
The rest was obviously not. But reading the first few sentences on the OFFICIAL site of SKI UTAH, I am really disappointed you used such poor judgement and toyed with many in this state that have spent a lot of money to ski here.
I am saving a copy of this page now and I am challenging Ski Utah to live up to the about quoted sentence due to this tremendous screw up.
I'll save the rest for the higher ups at Ski Utah.
I don't care if it is "April Fools" day, you put it on the site and now you guys need to step up.
That was very wrong, this is people's money you decided to play with because YOU thought it would be funny.
SHAME ON YOU!

I was terribly confused the whole way thru. Although I appreciate that the really obvious ones were reserved for the end of your blog! Riding Moab would be sick. Very funny Mrs. Powderhound.
Hey, any chance there's some video from pond skimming in an upcoming blog? Something I might not get to see outside of Utah...
Happy April Fools,
Jealous in Texas

And the Great Salt Lake has a great 6-8ft overhead right. Breaks just off the Salt Lake Marina. LOL
