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,

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 dropflagstaff snowbowl
  • 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.
