Arizona's Snowbowl gets nod to make snow from treated wastewater

The decision, by Harv Forsgren, director of the U.S. Forest Service's Southwest office in Albuquerque, follows years of protests by Native American tribes, who contend that development on the San Francisco Peaks interferes with their religious practices. But Forsgren said that the snowmaking, which will use treated wastewater pumped to the ski area from Flagstaff, does not violate the First Amendment rights of Native Americans and "does not preclude the continued use of the San Francisco Peaks for religious beliefs and practices." Operators of the Snowbowl have said that they likely would go out of business unless snowmaking was approved. Arizona Republic_ 6/9/05 (logon required)
