No one recommends you eat yellow snow, but would you ski on it?

“We followed that case closely for the industry.
In our view, and with proper education, there should be use of reclaimed water for snowmaking.

Outside of America, Mount Buller and Mount Hotham in Victoria, Australia, embarked on similar projects.
“Projects like this are an investment in the future.

At Mount Buller, the water recycling was trialled in 2006 and implemented in 2008.
The resort has plans to widen the project to reuse the water in people’s homes.
