Great! Can’t wait to have all those COVID infected people from Phoenix overrunning our town 😕

Linde said "It's just time to move on." Shameful!!! Obviously he has not lost someone he loves to this dreadful virus! With a statement like that Linde, our family will no longer support Snowbowl!

I think you will find upon a closer reading of Linde's comment, that it was in relation to the new lift name, not the COVID situation.

I believe he's referencing the name change of the chairlift. It's time to move on from the name "Agassiz" on a lift, not anything to do with Covid.

Thank you for this. I hope more Northern Arizonans and Valley tourons have your values. Snowbowl, in fact, has not cared about the native people throughout Arizona and New Mexico, thirteen tribes of whom believe that snowmaking with treated, but impure, water is a sacrilege on the Peaks.

Skiing on this sacred land is a sacrilege period! And wasting potable water is as well. If it doesn’t snow enough, no skiing! Works for me...

Snowbowl knows that they aren't following through with their restrictions. There are so many uncovered faces crammed in line that they turned off their webcam on the Grand Canyon Express lift so no one can see how bad it is.
