(KSL News) -- It won't be long before Utah's ski resorts open up for the season and tonight Ski Utah hosted a free party at the Gallivan Center to get everybody excited.
This inaugural "Utah SnowJam 2006" has been going on for the past six-hours, and featured live music by several bands. It also includes equipment displays and demos and prizes and appearances by several Olympic athletes, who were signing autographs.
All the resorts had stuff to give away.
Hilary Reiter, Dir. of Communications, Ski Utah: "We're trying to convey the fact that Salt Lake is the United States' biggest and most amazing ski town, and trying to get the whole local community pumped for the ski season."
For each of the past two seasons, Utah's resorts have piled up more than 600 inches of snow, and of course, they're hoping to do it again!
