Snowbowl Effect

The Snowbowl Effect movie was good to see, because it made these injustices seem more real to me. I suppose when I read a book, it seems farther away or made up. To be able to put faces with the people fighting for their beliefs and land made the issue much more powerful and real. The movie brought up a moral dilemma for me to consider- watching the film, being completely disconnected I totally, one hundred per cent agree that the San Francisco peaks should be left alone for the indigenous people of that area, but also realize that I would have a harder time if I were closer to the area. I don't backcountry ski (though I hope to change that soon) and do rely on chairlifts and snow blowers for my recreation....if that were my only option, it would be much more difficult.
