Let Make it Snow, make it snow, make it snow. That’s what the owners of Arizona Snowbowl are saying today after another legal victory should have this ski resort outside Flagstaff rolling in artificial snow (made from treated wastewater) as early as next November. Which is good news for Valley skiers and snowboarders, who have been watching Arizona’s only other large-scale ski resort slowly melt away. Looks like we won’t have to wait around for that proposed indoor ski park after all.

It’s been a long, heated battle on the frozen slopes of the San Francisco Peaks, but it looks like the snowblowers have won. We won’t bore you with the details, but long story short, several local Native American tribes (including the owners of Sunrise), which consider the San Francisco Peaks their sacred ancestral homeland, have fought the Snowbowl owner’s efforts to supplement Mother Nature by coating the slopes with a steady supply of snow created from treated, recycled sewer water.

Now the AZ Daily Sun is reporting that the owners of the Arizona Snowbowl have won another court decision and are moving forward with plans for making snow in time for skiing by Nov. 1, 2011.
