Bowl Backgrounder
The Zions Bank Top of the Mountains Bowl is one of eight bowl games sanctioned by the National Junior College Athletic Association. The bowl committee's objectives are to showcase the talents of amateur athletes from Snow College and another junior college, to give athletes an opportunity to play in a first class venue and environment and to raise money for higher education scholarships and medical care for children.

Zions Bank is the title sponsor and has agreed to be the bowl's primary underwriter for the first three years. Rice-Eccles Stadium, located on the campus of the University of Utah, is the bowl site. Snow College will be the home team each year as long the football team finishes 6-4 or better. The Snow College football team is a perennial power in the NJCAA. They have finished in the top 20 for the past four seasons, including a second-ranked finish following the 2006 season.

2004 - Inaugural Zions Bank Top of the Mountains Bowl
The Snow College Badgers defeated the eleventh-ranked Rochester Yellow Jackets 45-7 on Saturday, December 4 in Rice-Eccles Stadium. Snow opened up at 14-0 lead in the first quarter and led 28-7 at the half. The win propelled the Badgers to the fourteenth position in the final NJCAA football poll. At halftime, a check was presented to the Kidney Foundation of Utah for $1500 and Zions Bank presented $1000 scholarships to the offensive and defensive most valuable players for each team.
