Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was, a nonfiction book written by Greg Glasgow (MEngl’99) and his wife, Kathryn Mayer, tells the story of a ski resort the Disney company tried to build in Mineral King, California, throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Coinciding with the start of the modern environmental movement, the Sierra Club environmental organization filed a lawsuit against the project that was eventually presented to the Supreme Court. The book also features the late John Harper (PhDGeog’74), one of the Sierra Club activists who worked against the Disney project.
