YEAH BABY! for those of you who have been following my support of making snow at Arizona SnowBowl…which has been a legal slugfest for years primarily because of Native American’s opposing it due to religious reasons…well…
The Arizona Snowbowl received great news from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Snowmaking and needed improvements at the 71 year old resort will happen. The Snowbowl community is very pleased that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to rehear the case and affirm the original District Court opinion.
Judge Carlos Bea, writing for the majority, “Were it otherwise, any action the federal government were to take, including action on its own land, would be subject to the personalized oversight of millions of citizens. Each citizen would hold an individual veto to prohibit the government action solely because it offends his religious beliefs, sensibilities, or tastes, or fails to satisfy his religious desires. Further, giving one religious sect a veto over the use of public park land would deprive others of the right to use what is, by definition, land that belongs to everyone.”

it looks like i may be moving my “Can Do Clan” from our lovely Two Tree Manor out to the country into an adorable and cozy ranchhouse with what just might be the best view of all Northern Arizona high country…and this means i’ll be only about 13 minutes from getting “First Chair” when the ski area opens! we’ll also likely have space for WF Retreats right on our property!
more on this with pictures of our possible new h(om)e coming as details unfold!
