FAQs About the Economics of Snowmaking at Arizona
Snowbowl
What makes this proposal economically feasible?
Based on the financial information the Arizona Snowbowl, Inc., shared
with the Forest Service, the Coconino National Forest is confident
that the Snowbowl has the financial ability to carry the selected
alternative forward.
Will government money be used to subsidize the upgrades
at the Snowbowl? No portion of the facility upgrades at
the Snowbowl will be funded or subsidized by the Forest Service.
In fact, all the costs associated with the development, construction,
operation and maintenance of the proposed infrastructure upgrades
at the Snowbowl will be the full responsibility of the Snowbowl.
How much economic benefit will Flagstaff see from snowmaking?
Flagstaff has a diverse economic base that is not completely
dependent upon the Arizona Snowbowl; however, this proposal will
have a positive net effect on Flagstaff’s winter economy.
These economic benefits will be reflected in increased revenues
from property, sales, and BBB taxes, and in higher local employment.
