Appeals court overturns Snowbowl snowmaking permit
word. Finally some good news. I have to say, I really wasn’t expecting this.
From the AZ Daily Sun
The operators of Arizona Snowbowl cannot use reclaimed wastewater to make snow, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today.
In a unanimous decision, the judges said there is no evidence that denying the operators of Snowbowl the ability to use sewage for artificial snow would force the facility, located on U.S. Forest Service land, to shut down. They said there is no “compelling governmental interest'’ in having artificial snow on the San Francisco Peaks.
