VIDEO: What It Takes to Open Snowbird, UT on a Powder Day It takes a helluva lotta work to get Snowbird ski resort in Utah open on a powder day. Not all of us appreciate nor understand just how much work it takes patrollers to get the hill safe for us. This video shows us just how much work it takes and exactly what it takes to get Snowbird open on a powder day. Patrollers are some of the hardest working people in the business and certainly the hardest working on the hill each day. Yet, they are grossly underpaid. We need to fix this and fix it fast.
