On Nov. 21, opening day at Arizona Snowbowl, Flagstaff residents and several NAU students gathered at the base of the mountain to protest the ski resort’s practices. ⁠
⁠
Demonstrators called on Flagstaff City Council to terminate the city’s reclaimed-water contract with Snowbowl, urged the U.S. Forest Service to halt the renewal of the resort’s special-use permit set to expire in 2032, and demanded that the sanctity of the Holy Mountain be respected and restored to its original state.⁠
