The City of Flagstaff has a request for proposal to put a "snowplay" area on McMillan Mesa that includes parking for 600 cars, tubing runs, a lift, and a lodge (of unknown size). In addition, they are requesting to make snow with reclaimed water to ensure a "consistent" season. The Planning and Zoning Commission had a meeting recently to begin discussion of the project. Here is a video presentation of the project details.

After you have watched the video, please consider taking the action steps below, as well as check our calendar for upcoming city council meetings where you can voice your opinion in person to the council.

1. Take part in this public process to create a scoping document for the City of Flagstaff to address the serious traffic problem Arizona Snowbowl creates along Highway 180 in the winter. Ask them to cancel the contract to keep this problem from getting worse. In addition, please weigh in on how you think the current city proposal to put a snowplay amusment park with poop snow on McMillan mesa fits into this picture of traffic, winter recreation experience, economic benefits, and community impacts.

2. Contact Flagstaff City Officials and

A. Urge them to RESPECT the environment, Indigenous culture, and protect public health by finding a way out of their contract to sell Snowbowl treated sewage effluent!

B. Urge them to have some RESPECT for themselves and the rest of their town and not fake winter with treated sewage effluent on McMillan Mesa. If you can't play in the sprinkler, why can you play in the snow?

No, No No, to poison snow!
