Flagstaff Snowbowl

Flagstaff Snowbowl may stay open
until April, 2010, if this snowfall keeps up!
Flagstaff Snowbowl, or more properly... the Arizona Snowbowl,
is Arizona's favorite skiing facility. It's located just north of
Flagstaff on the San Francisco Peaks.
Note: Because many people search the internet using the
keyword phrase Flagstaff Snowbowl, I'll continue to use this less-than-proper name on this
page.
The Flagstaff Snowbowl facility has been in continuous operation since 1938.
Few other ski facilities can make this statement. Convenient, family friendly,
variety of runs, and much more are offered by the Snowbowl,
Here is the current conditions report for the Snowbowl, courtesy of
SkiReport.com.
This convenient facility offers lessons for all ability
levels, plus... what is acknowledged to be the best learning terrain in the Southwestern US. It also
features:
- 2300 feet of vertical drop

- 4 chair lifts
- 32 scenic alpine trails
- Terrain Park for skiers and snowboarders
- 2 lodges with restaurants and bars
- Cabins
- 260 inches of snowfall average per year
- 4 month ski season (average - mid December thru
mid-April)
The Flagstaff Snowbowl operators have received permission
from the Forest Service to expand and improve facilities... and to make snow, but that decision
is being challenged in the Federal Courts.
Opponents to expansion and snow making have not prevailed
in Federal Appeals Court, and are now pursuing an appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court. Use the link at the bottom of this page to get updates on
the status of snowmaking.
The Flagstaff Snowbowl also offers a popular Summer Scenic
Skyride. It's a great way to enjoy views of the surroundings, wild flowers, and
a different view of the Grand Canyon's North Rim.
Flagstaff, with a variety of hotels and motels is minutes
from the mountain.
