Forest Service delays report on ski area expansion
Tuesday, December 2, 2003
The U.S. Forest Service won't release a draft environmental impact statement on the expansion of a ski area in the sacred San Francisco Peaks in Arizona until February at the earliest.
The operators of the Arizona Snowbowl want federal approval to make snow and perform upgrades. But the Hopi Tribe and other tribes say the plan will harm sacred sites in the peaks.
The Forest Service was expected to have the statement ready this week.
