Sacred Sites, Ski Areas, and Sewage … Again
Posted by Tad McIlwraith on April 10th, 2006 filed in First Nations, In the News, Sacred Sites, Southwest
A press release on the Friends of Grassy Narrows’s website describes the Secwepemc (formerly Shuswap) protest at Sun Peaks Resort in the British Columbia interior. Included in the statement is concern over making snow for skiing from recycled water water. This is the second sacred sites protest against a ski resort using dirty water for snowmaking I’ve noted recently, after the continuing fight against Arizona Snowbowl (Flagstaff) and its development of San Francisco Peak in Arizona (also here).
How common is the practice of making snow from untreated water?
