Paralleling the modern day struggle between corporate America and the environmental movement, which is increasingly becoming violent, Snow Waste demystifies a ski resort’s future success and a paper mill’s resolve to survive by exacerbating perennial land and water use issues.

Set in fictional Cannon, Maine: Joe Littlefield is the chief of snowmaking for the White Woods Ski Resort. His boss is Warren Ainsworth is really focussed on developing Carter Peak, which would make White Wood one of the largest ski resorts in this part of the country. And Doug Andrews is an environmental activist, with it has to be said, a past, and has been living in Maine now for 5 years.  The story is told through the eyes of these three people, and with a good, well thought out story, you too can experience what potentially goes on behind the scenes of a ski resort.
