Play Forever Presentation: Restoring the Health of the Great Salt Lake
Learn about lake effect.
The Great Salt Lake is necessary to Utah and the surrounding environment, from being a harbor for migrating birds to playing a critical role in keeping Snowbird's snowpack light, fluffy and plentiful. However, according to "Decline of the world's saline lakes," there has been a persistent reduction in water supply to Utah's Great Salt Lake since the arrival of 19th century pioneers, leading to a decrease in both elevation and volume.
Join The Nature Conservancy and Snowbird for a presentation titled "Restoring the Health of the Great Salt Lake," followed by a streaming of Mike Fleischner's documentary "The Last Resort," and learn how skiers can do their part in saving this important natural landmark.
