The Save Mt Spokane Coalition is founded by local citizen and environmental groups to focus energy and resources on preventing destruction of the intact ecosystem and watershed on the north and west slopes of Mt Spokane by the proposed ski area expansion by Mt Spokane 2000. The coalition will employ legal, scientific and regional resources to educate citizens and state agencies to its conservation purpose to preserve natural areas, protect unique wildlife habitat and species, and enhance opportunities for non-motorized recreation. Our aim is to balance our desire for an improved and thriving ski area with our desire to protect this unique and ecologically important landscape in our community.


The Save Mt Spokane Coalition wants to see Mt Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park be successful and financially viable. We do not think this fiscal viability should be at the expense of fragmenting the last remaining large intact natural forests near Spokane.
