Snowbowl Ski Area in Arizona being sued again to stop expansion, this time for recycling water

Snowbowl is being sued by a group of citizens to stop its expansion and adding snowmaking to the resort. The argument is the use of reclaimed sewer water to make the snow.

The resort just survived a suit by 13 Native American tribes over expansion on what they consider a sacred mountain. That suit went to the ninth circuit court of appeals and upheld the ski areas right to expand.

The suit claims there maybe dangers if you eat the snow made from the recycled water.

Don't eat the snow then?
