FLAGSTAFF - The legal battle to determine the fate of a Northern Arizona mountain held holy by more than thirteen Native American nations will be heard in a Pasadena, Calif. courtroom Dec. 11. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted the U.S. Forest Service and an Arizona ski resort the opportunity to challenge a previous decision by the court Oct. 17. The initial decision blocked the ski area from expanding and making fake snow from treated sewage effluent on the sacred San Francisco Peaks.
