The Hopi call her Nuvatuqui Ovi, the Navajo Dook'osliid. Hosting 180,000 visitors a year, the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona have been sacred to the Thirteen Tribes for centuries. As global warming makes the snows unreliable, the Snowbowl ski resort's owners are looking to extend the ski season by pumping 1.5 million gallons of Flagstaff's treated wastewater daily up the mountain to make fake snow. In addition to the unknown environmental effects of pharmaceuticals and hormones excreted in feces and urine soaking into the groundwater, spewing treated sewage onto the Holy Mountain has been compared to urinating on the altar at the Vatican.

  • The snowbowl represents a cultural, environmental, and societal holocaust that will reverberate in the hollow souls of our future generations.

    Fuck the snowbowl, fuck the jobs it makes, fuck the forest service, fuck the federal government, and anyone who disagrees with me: fuck you!

  • Need antibiotics? Ski at Snowbowl. Take a roll in the snow and let it absorb through your skin. Eat the vegetables at the restaurant, wash your hands in the sink. Everything that goes on, goes in. The snow will melt into the earth, become the ground water, will be pumped back up... new healthcare plan!

  • SAVE THE SNOWMAKING PROJECT!!!!, "TREATED" Waste Water
