 ACTION ALERT

Join Peaceful Uprising and a team of Survivaballs in kicking off our boycott of Snowbird Resort.  Pass out fliers, help support the Survivaballs and pull some stunts on the slopes.

Friday January 8, 2010

10:30am

Meet at the Little Cottonwood Canyon Park and Ride Lot
 

Dress warmly, we will be out for 3-4 hours. Bring your skis/snowboards if you want to participate in the stunts. We will be hiking up the hill, not riding the lift, so plan accordingly.  Email jessi.a.carrier@gmail.com for more information.

WHY BOYCOTT SNOWBIRD?

Snowbird owner Dick Bass is threatening the future of the ski industry by investing in the largest proposed coal strip mine in Alaska, the Chuitna mine.  The mine would destroy salmon fisheries, pollute streams, and decimate forests while significantly contributing to climate change. Beyond being environmentally barbaric, investing in a coal mine is a glaring contradiction for someone who owns a ski resort, and who claims to value environmental sustainability.

We don't want this mine to succeed, and putting pressure on Bass is the way we can make a difference.  We have chosen to boycott Snowbird resort until Bass agrees to disinvest in the mine.  We are encouraging skiers and snowboarders to patronize other resorts, and for Snowbird season pass holders to commit to not buying passes in the future.
