Because of the Mormon Church's influence of the California vote on Proposition 8, gay-rights activists are advocating boycotting both the ski resorts, and the Sundance Film Festival. Apparently, the Mormon Church encouraged its members to work to pass California's Proposition 8 by volunteering their time and money for the campaign. As a result, thousands of  dedicated and homophobic Mormons worked as grassroots volunteers, while donating millions of dollars to the campaign.

Will this work, or will this ultimately alienate activate skiers and snowboarders who are pro gay marriage but have a great love for Utah resorts. Perhaps it will bring more business

to Colorado ski areas. What are your thoughts?
