... that in the 1970s, Disney attempted to build a ski resort and mountain village at Independence Lake, a remote glacial lake high in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, but the project was successfully blocked by opposition from environmentalists and local communities? (source) <<<note: this needs wordsmithing>>>
- ALT1:... that in the 1970s, Disney attempted to build a ski resort and mountain village at Independence Lake, a remote glacial lake high in California's Sierra Nevada mountains? (shorter version of previous hook)

The article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, and nominated timely. No copyvios are found. ALT1 is interesting and neutral, and I found sourcing for it at the article. Exempt from QPQ. Congratulations on this excellent article. Good to go. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:01, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
