The U.S. Forest Service is holding a consultation session with the Hopi Tribe of Arizona over a proposed expansion of a ski based located in the sacred San Francisco Peaks.

The Forest Service has been consulting with 13 tribes over the plan to use reclaimed water to make artificial snow and upgrade facilities at the Arizona Snowbowl facility. The Hopi Tribe, concerned about the proposal, requested face-to-face meetings. Navajo tribal leaders met informally with government officials.
