15 million youth of “U.N.’s World Children’s Month,” Olympians, and all those wanting to keep skiing on snow from the heavens, while protecting their families, are inviting you to join them this Saturday, Sept 16, in a Gratitude Prayer on our 6th EARTH HUG.
Thanks to so many of your joining us for last years’ Earth Hug, we enjoyed blissful “Snows of the Century” at Montana’s stunning Big Sky HOF. It was in solidarity with gifted Native Elders and multi-faith Earth healers on Sacred and Holy mountains that vastly multiply prayers.
By together sending the missing love and appreciation to Mother Earth, like all our ancient ancestors did, which prevented droughts and wildfires for eons, She’ll happily keep dancing up storms.
Note these tribal-led ceremonies inspire IDEAL weather, not destructive, which Elders say are a reflection of negative thoughts, words and actions. So the sunny weather in Montana, when more blizzard conditions were forecast, was likely from the gratitude ceremony we did on the powerful Solstice, (with billions globally thanking Mother Earth the day we arrived), combined with our thank-ing in advance Padre Sun (followed by powder). Plus thanks to thoughtful deeds by the HOF, where 21 ski areas called this solution “Fantastic,” and Mikaela with her Norwegian champ, Alex Kilde, uniting World Olympians to wake up leaders to save our snow, using another appoach.
As a skier it’s important to know that hydrologists say “it will take years of deep snowpack in the mts to end decades of droughts,” and “Canada found that their wildfires are heating them 2-3X more than their fossil fuels,” why the Code Reds.”
That’s why it was ingenius that U.S. ski areas invited our tribes to ski, which inspires the Elders to lead snowdances that have helped end droughts for 63 years, including saving 2 snowless Olympics. Yet most of the programs we helped inspire in the U.S. and Canada dried up from Covid, why we came up with this emergency Plan B Earth Hug.
Here’s how we can even have FUN easily helping revive this Native ski-Snowdance solution to end droughts quickly, so they can ripple worldwide, as urged by Stanford-Aspen SkiCo’s Nobel Prize winner Dr Steven Schneider.
A year ago, Bjorn Dahl, former director of Kirkwood ski area, Western Forestry, Congressional Hearings and 4th Generation Norwe-gian Forester, said, “send this great drought solution to Sec of AG Vilsack for emergency funding.” As “Biden just gave him $50 Billion to Prevent droughts and wildfires.” Their wisely “shifting to Native Ameri-can controlled burns controlled the West coast wildfires in ONE Year.”
With fire season coming soon, you Sports Heroes can make our drought solution happen by forwarding this to your Congressional Reps and Senators to plead with Vilsack to fund struggling ski areas that want to host at least ONE day (of 15-30 youth) of snowsports and snow- dances. Then we can cool the planet to PREVENT the DROUGHTS that cause the hellfires. Then no more folks in Aspen and Tahoe fleeing and others unnecessarily losing homes and count-less trees and wildlife!
These reps will listen since you’re also inviting them for a fun ski day with you, where you can further enlighten them on the chairlift. That’s how I got President Ford and Senator Ted Kennedy, to finally get athletes’ rights and Title IX’s women’s equal sports and ED ops enforced. \
Or just imagine Vilsack immediately doing that, and then how his even commiting to this plan helps inspire on-going IDEAL snow across our Mt ranges. Then it can ripple to all countries to restore snow to Europe, cool oceans to reduce hurricanes… Then give gratitude to Creator for making that so, along with this other Climate Hail Mary:
Clue in your busy Reps that we’re only 20% solar and wind, like Canada – that’s why we have the most wildfires! So asked them for their simple majority vote to enshrine the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the Constitution since its equal pay will boost the econony $4.3 Trillion to afford a Renewable-powered America now, like Norway. Then is can ripple to all countries with its $28 Trllion boost. (TIME) Plus women’s rights to choose…
Since there’s only 6% Indigenous left on the planet, sincerely “Thank Mother Earth” every time She blesses us with rains and snows, (or Sun), or in advance for IDEAL weather if you direly need it, so it again snowballs to record snow like the last years.
That’s how you can quickly easily and even have fun helping win this Ultimate Human Race so future generations sing our praise while enjoying with us our wonderful sport and LIFE.
This is what I learned from the wonderful Elders over 25 years to save you mucho time. More amazing photos & details attached…
with Mountains of Love and Appreciation,
