I think they left out about a million people. The story seems to echo the Snowbowl and USFS rhetoric used in court to compare a "ski culture" with Indigenous cultures that are thousands of years old.

Whatever the history of skiing in Flagstaff, the issues facing skiing today are complex. What had begun as a sport that attracted a few has been promoted into a business that attracts very many today. I would like to see some investigative reporting on the origins of the current degradation of the peaks through clear cutting of old growth forest to covering hundreds of acres with contaminated sewer water.
