HAHAHA the case is being reheard... and snowbowl will win hippies!!!

[IndigenousAction]

Although its difficult to respond to such ignorance, your comments really identify and uphold the credibility of Snowbowl support. Did you listen to the appeal hearing?Judges in the 9th Circuit very clearly stated that this "SEWER WATER" was of great concern to public health. You have to love the one where they accuse the Snowbowl attorney of "double talk."

Where do you get your information from? FACT: The White Mountain Apache do not use wastewater to make snow.

[IndigenousAction]

Your comments are indicative of the bigoted realities that we as Indigenous peoples still face today. You claim to be Cherokee on top of all this? Maybe another person who's Grandma was a princess?

I appreciate the subject matter that you're addressing, I hope that the sound in the trailer isn't indicative of the whole piece because it's very hard to understand some of the interviews with the people you really want to hear from. Maybe check your levels in the mix before you throw it out there. thanks again for your work.

@CHARKELLYAZ1818 I think you hit the nail with the hammer. Snowbowl expansion will kill Sunrise's business.

@georgert not to mention stray dogs...

[lukesterification]

@lubetubeful "Sewer water" is actually amazingly clean. It is, by law, mandatorily tested daily for pathogens daily. The water that is purchased by consumers for $2 is, on the other hand, is not held to nearly the same standards that "sewer water" is.

Relating the Snowbowl expansion to enslament is somewhat like comparing BMW's efforts to produce automobiles to Nazi Germany's tyranny. Next time you take an Aspirin by Bayer, remember the company is a spin-off of IGF, which produced Zyklon B...

@mxridingbass snowbowl will win hippies? how many will they win?



[georgert]

They say the mountains are sacred and no one should descrate them, but the highways through the reservation they live on is littered with broken glass and litter. The native Americans should look to clean up their own backyard before trying to cram it down everyone else's throat.

Let them make snow, jesus its not a big fucking deal. I seriously think you have no better reason to fight it beside the fact that we took youre land years ago and anything us white people do is evil. You can have casinos and take peoples fortunes away and well spray some snow on youre lil mountain that is pretty shitty enough anyway. Indians are ruining the Ski Scene in Arizona. Sunrise is complete shit because a tribe owns it, and now snowbowl is making an effort to improve. Let them be.

Ignorance is the correct term for that guy. Why would we do this? We won't!

[Reelcool74]

Go snowbowl! Bring more money to flagstaff and more fun.
